To understand Multitenancy in Salesforce, firstly It’s important to understand how your records are stored in Salesforce before diving into SOQL and DML. The database that contains your records doesn’t actually have a SQL table for each standard and custom object. Instead, the database stores record in a multitenant database. This is a database that stores data and metadata from multiple tenants in a standardized way. The database contains generic tables to store standard and custom object records.

Multitenancy in Salesforce is like living in an apartment building. Imagine Salesforce as a big apartment building, and each tenant in the building is a different Salesforce customer. Each tenant shares common infrastructures like plumbing and electricity (just like how Salesforce customers share the same servers, storage, etc.), but each tenant’s personal items are secure in their own apartment (like each customer’s data being secured in their own org).
Multitenancy allows Salesforce to serve multiple customers (tenants) from a single application instance (the apartment building) while keeping every customer’s data separate and secure. This shared architecture lets Salesforce roll out updates and new features to all customers simultaneously, ensuring everyone’s on the latest and greatest version!
