Multi-tenant Laravel: single-DB vs multi-DB in production
We've shipped both. Here are the failure modes, trade-offs, and migration paths we wish we'd known on day one.
This is a placeholder article. In production, this content lives in a CMS (Filament / Nova) or a Markdown store, keyed by multi-tenant-laravel-single-vs-multi-db.
Why this matters
Our engineers publish field notes so you can make better technical decisions — with less guesswork.
The playbook
- Diagnose the real problem with data, not opinion.
- Prototype the smallest change that could plausibly fix it.
- Ship, measure, and either double down or throw it away.
"Great engineering is not about being clever — it's about being clear."
