  --- ## Roadmap: Subdomains vs Custom Domains * **Supported today:** Tenant subdomains on your primary application host (e.g., `greenwood.yourapp.com` → `Organization.find_by(subdomain: "greenwood")`). * **Coming soon:** Full custom apex domains (e.g., `greenwood.edu` resolving via host-based lookups and custom DNS mapping). --- ## Why I Built This I was building a multi-tenant Online Exam System in Rails—multiple schools, each with their own admins, teachers, exams, and students. I needed Greenwood School to absolutely *never* see Riverside School's data. Not in the UI, not in a background job, and definitely not via a copy-pasted `update_all` statement in a production console. I didn't want the DevOps nightmare of managing a schema-per-school, and I didn't want to fork unmaintained tenancy gems. I wanted to run `bin/rails tenantify:verify` after my seeds ran and sleep soundly knowing data isolation was working perfectly. So, I built `rails-tenantify`, integrated it into production, and open-sourced v0.1.2. ## Links & Feedback * **GitHub:** [github.com/sghani001/rails-tenantify](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://github.com/sghani001/rails-tenantify) * **RubyGems:** [rubygems.org/gems/rails-tenantify](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://rubygems.org/gems/rails-tenantify) If you give it a try, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
