Multitenant DB Decision Kit

Quantitative comparison and decision checklist for multi-tenant database isolation strategies

Problem

Developers on Reddit debate multi-tenant database isolation, torn between shared tables, separate schemas, and separate databases, with trade-offs around isolation, migrations, backups, connection limits, cost, and monitoring making decisions slow.

Solution

An interactive web tool: input scale, compliance needs, budget, and team size, and it outputs a comparison matrix and recommended path, with migration checklists, connection pool configuration tips, and real-world case links.

Users

Indie developers and small engineering teams building multi-tenant SaaS

MVP

Questionnaire collects tenant count, data sensitivity, budget, and stack; generates comparison matrix and recommendation; provides best-practice links for migration, backup, and connection pooling; export PDF; no actual DB operations

Revenue

Free basic comparison; paid unlocks detailed migration playbook and architecture review checklist, one-time $29

Why now

AI lets more people build SaaS fast, but infrastructure decisions still rely on scattered forum threads; a decision tool can acquire users cheaply
