multi-tenancy-with-RLS

This is an example repository of achieving Multi-Tenancy in Golang using Row Level Security (RLS) in Postgres. Companion article: multi-tenancy-with-rls.

Overview

1. docker-initdb contains all the necessary SQL commands required to initialize our containarized database.
2. For demonstration purposes, tenantId is dynamically set via query param and updated via request context.
3. While configuring the database connection, we are dynamically setting the app.current_tenant configuration paramter using set_tenant SQL function using BeforeAcquire hook from pgx library.
4. Similarily, we will reset the tenantId using AfterRelease hook.

Running the application

1. Run docker compose up
2. Wait few seconds for apiserver to be live as it waits until database is intialized.
3. Run curl -X GET http://localhost:8848/products\?tenantId=<1|2> to dynamically set the tenantId values.
