Hello, I found Solidus and once again I was surprised by the great Ruby on Rails community. Thank you for developing something this nice! I am a Rails Developer and a Young Entrepreneur - starting an Online Marketplace business. I am using Solidus as our base Ecommerce application. We want to allow for our clients to open their stores through our platform. For this we need a Multi-tenant architecture. I have a question for the community: I am trying to achieve a Multi-Tenant Marketplace, and most people mentioned the Apartment gem. I read that Postgresql had recorded issues with this where in cases where more than 50 vendors were registered, the database crashed. Is there any architectural advice about a software like this? Any case of an application similar to this that I can base to? Maybe some Solidus cases similar? Anything is helpful.

I don’t have experience with such a huge marketplace, but what I can say by experience is that having 50 clients is a good problem to have and at that point you can probably invest in improving the architecture to fix all the problems you can have.

Tenants and the creation of tables can take up quite a bit of memory. I would assume each 100 some odd tables being created would use up a lot of RAM.
