We write about what we build
Postgres Row-Level Security for a pooled multi-tenant database: the table pattern, why FORCE and NOBYPASSRLS matter, setting context per transaction, and composite foreign keys.
The first decision in any multi-tenant SaaS: pooled tables with a tenant_id column, or a database per customer. Why we default to pooled, what it costs, and how to keep the door open.
The line on your AWS bill that appears when a cluster goes out of standard support, what it adds up to across a few clusters, and the cheaper way to never pay it.
Tell us what you're running and where it hurts. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
