enterexiton Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)

Yeah, stripe, github, slack, etc. are multi-tenant apps - they run the same system but each company's data is supposed to stay separate. EC2/Heroku are infrastructure multi-tenants, so they isolate at vm or container level. App multi-tenancy - isolation happens at the app and db level.

enterexiton Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)

Been working on TenantSaas, a .NET library to make developing multi-tenant apps safer. Wanted something that prevents background jobs or admin scripts from accidentally running across tenants by refusing to run when tenant context isn’t clear. Comes with contract tests teams can run in CI. Still early, so be gentle.

enterexiton HN call for help: Thousand of IT specialists flee Russia as job market collapses

Is this really necessary? Of course there is a difference between hiding from bombs and having financial lives turned upside down. That's not the point. Do you sort all beggars on the street and choose who you help and who you won't based on the severity of their situation?
