Safely separate multiple tenants in a Django database

django-scopes

Build status PyPI Python versions PyPI - Django Version

Motivation

Many of us use Django to build multi-tenant applications where every user only ever gets access to a small, separated fraction of the data in our application, while at the same time having some global functionality that makes separate databases per client infeasible. While Django does a great job protecting us from building SQL injection vulnerabilities and similar errors, Django can't protect us from logic errors and one of the most dangerous types of security issues for multi-tenant applications is that we leak data across tenants.

It's so easy to forget that one .filter call and it's hard to catch these errors in both manual and automated testing, since you usually do not have a lot of clients in your development setup. Leaving radical, database-dependent ideas aside, there aren't many approaches available in the ecosystem to prevent these mistakes from happening aside from rigorous code review.

We'd like…

Introduction

Docker-based Message Queuing (DBMQ) is an efficient way to run the pre-built configurations on the build process of Dockerfiles. Once you have finished configuring, you will be able to create your images based on your configurations. DBMQ is very flexible with Django projects and you might stay away from troubles with creating a Dockerized Django project. After the building process, your image will be ready to get started. Use a text editor to step through your container and make changes. (the pre-installed editor is Vim)

Why DBMQ is Needed?

This system locates between the user and the Docker service. You config your requirements and let this automated system to provide them to you. You don't need to be a…
