Has anyone here, that&#x27;s built SaaS software, tried to use a one database per customer approach?<p>It&#x27;s been in my mind for a while, as an easy way to isolate customer data, make migrations easier and build monitoring for per customer resource usage.<p>Haven&#x27;t seen this approach used in practice yet, and didn&#x27;t get the chance to architect new SaaS products in the last few years and try it out long term.
