An approach to lightweight tenancy management using Django Rest Framework

December 15, 2023 21 min Free

Description

This talk presents a lightweight multitenancy approach using Django Rest Framework, focusing on a common use case where tenants share a database and application instance, but resources belong to a single tenant. The presentation covers techniques for nesting API routes and consistently restricting access to resources, including the use of custom viewsets, model managers, and the drf-nested-routers library. It also explores the drf-access-policy library as an alternative for more complex permission logic. Limitations such as the need for identical table structures across tenants and checks only at the API level are also discussed.
