How does Mendix support multi-tenancy?

Mendix supports multi-tenancy primarily by enabling separate data and configurations for multiple business units on the same application instance. This means that different tenants, such as distinct departments or subsidiaries within an organization, can operate using the same application infrastructure while having their data, workflows, and configurations completely isolated from one another. This approach helps in efficiently managing resources and scaling the application while allowing each business unit to operate according to its specific requirements and policies.

The other options, while they touch on aspects of application management, do not effectively capture the essence of how Mendix manages multi-tenancy. For example, running multiple applications independently might imply a lack of shared resources and complexity in management, which does not reflect the advantages of a centralized multi-tenant architecture. Creating independent user accounts for each tenant does not inherently support the broader multi-tenancy concept, as it focuses solely on user management rather than the separation of data and configurations. Lastly, offering custom applications for each user also diverges from the multi-tenancy framework, as it suggests individualized application instances rather than a singular instance serving multiple business units effectively.
