This Snowflake white paper outlines design patterns for building multi-tenant applications, comparing three main models: Multi-Tenant Table (MTT), Object Per Tenant (OPT), and Account Per Tenant (APT). MTT offers high scalability and cost efficiency by pooling tenants in shared tables but requires uniform data models. OPT provides flexibility by isolating tenants into separate objects, balancing control and scalability for hundreds of tenants, though automation is essential. APT delivers the strongest isolation at the account level, fitting strict regulatory needs but adding complexity and cost. The guide also covers security, RBAC, entitlement management, workload isolation, and hybrid models, helping organizations choose architectures that align with scalability, compliance, and cost goa
