## What it is
Apartment is a Ruby gem providing database-level multi-tenancy for Rack and Rails applications, supporting tenant isolation via PostgreSQL schemas or separate databases. It offers tenant creation, switching, and per-request tenant management integrated with ActiveRecord.

## Use cases
- isolate each customer's data in its own database schema in a Rails app
- switch tenants per request based on subdomain or user
- run migrations across all tenants
- sequester account or company data while sharing some common data
- create and manage tenants programmatically in a SaaS application

## When to choose
- you're building a Rails/Rack SaaS app needing schema- or database-per-tenant isolation
- you want drop-in ActiveRecord multi-tenancy with per-request tenant switching middleware

## When to avoid
- you use row-level tenancy (a tenant_id column) rather than schema/database isolation
- you're on a non-Ruby stack or non-ActiveRecord ORM
- you need a project under active development - it is in maintenance mode with no license file

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, orm, middleware
- domain: web-development, databases, backend
- platform: ruby
- tags: multitenancy, rails, activerecord, postgresql-schemas, tenant-isolation, web-server
