FAB Builder empowers businesses to create multi-tenant applications that support tenants, microsites, and sub-sites—all with the flexibility of subdomain-based architecture. When you generate your application’s source code using FAB Builder, you can enable multi-tenancy as an option, allowing your application to dynamically create and manage tenants, microsites, and sub-sites. This feature is ideal for businesses looking to offer white-label solutions, client-specific portals, or regional sub-sites under a single application.

What Are Multi-Tenant Applications with Subdomains?

  • Multi-Tenant Applications: A single application instance that serves multiple tenants (clients or users), with each tenant’s data isolated for security and privacy.
  • Subdomains: Unique web addresses (e.g., client1.yourdomain.com) that allow tenants, microsites, or sub-sites to operate independently under the main application.

How FAB Builder Enables Multi-Tenant Applications

  1. Generate Source Code with Multi-Tenancy:
  2. During the code generation process, enable the multi-tenancy option to create an application that supports tenants, microsites, and sub-sites.
  3. Configure Subdomains:
  4. Set up subdomains for each tenant, microsite, or subsite (e.g., client1.yourdomain.com, campaign.yourdomain.com).
  5. Customize Tenant Experience:
  6. Allow tenants to customize their subdomains with unique branding and themes.
  7. Manage Permissions:
  8. Use role-based permissions to control access to features and data for each tenant or site.
  9. Deploy Your Application:
  10. Deploy the multi-tenant application to your preferred hosting provider (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) using FAB Builder’s one-click deployment.

Key Features of FAB Builder’s Multi-Tenant Architecture

  3. Microsites and Sub-Sites:
  4. Create microsites (e.g., campaign.yourdomain.com) or sub-sites (e.g., region.yourdomain.com) under the main application.
  5. Custom Branding:
  6. Allow tenants to customize their subdomains with unique branding, logos, and themes.
  7. Role-Based Permissions:
  8. Control access to features and data for tenants, microsites, and sub-sites using role-based permissions.
  9. Scalability:
  10. Add new tenants, microsites, or sub-sites as your business grows, without disrupting the main application.

I love finding patterns and concluding insights out of it. After working as Employee, a Consultant, a Freelancer I figured out mostly we start our project or a module or microservice either by copying an existing code or base repositories from GitHub lets say. And then spend a lot of time on customising it, analysing pitfalls, making it work so that I can start writing business logic for the work. So, I started POC-ing FAB Builder so that I get a trailered project targetted to my requirements and on which I can start writing business logic within few mins. This makes my life easy and my clients get a better quality products which are easy to modify and easy to maintain.
