Single-tenancy is an architecture in which a single instance of a software application and
supporting infrastructure serves one customer. In the software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model, a customer is called
a tenant.
In a single-tenancy architecture, the tenant purchases their own copy of the software and the
software can be customized to meet the specific and needs of that customer. Single-tenancy can be
contrasted with multi-tenancy,
an architecture in which a single instance of a software application serves multiple customers.
