Multi-Tenancy , multi database Laravel management best practice

Question

I am looking towards building a multi-tenant Laravel app which is a school management system that has one code-base but has multiple databases for each school. This system will have 800 schools (tenants), and each school will have its own users (teachers and students).

How can I implement the above with Laravel? Can or should I use a package or the is laravel native implementation of the above?

Every time a school is registered, how can I automatically create a subdomain on a domain, and automatically load the new tenant on AWS EBS or Heroku

How can I run one migration to all multiple databases?

Answer 1

yes, you can do it by declaring multiple database connections in your config file and the set connection dynamically in each fetch queries and also migration queries.

in normal queries:

DB::connection('some dynamic connection name')->...

or in migrations:

Schema::connection('connection name')->....
