Hi All,
I need some advice on how to use keycloak for a multi-tenant application. To start off I used what would be a natural way to use keycloak for a multi-tenant application and that is I created 1 realm per tenant. This works pretty well except that this approach has a scale issue. As soon as we go beyond the 400 realm mark we start seeing extreme slowness. With about 450 realms restarting keycloak did not work - it got stuck in some migration loop and would not come out of it.
Now I want to switch to some alternate scheme to achieve the same result. I am contemplating using a single realm and segregating tenant users by group - is this something that will work or would there be issues?
If someone has successfully built a multi-tenant application with keycloak I would like to hear from you.
Thanks.
