Could you build this?
Partial A basic per-tenant Postgres provisioning layer can be vibe-coded, but a production version needs careful handling of migrations, connection routing, isolation, backups, and cost at scale.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a control-plane API that provisions one Postgres database or schema per tenant, a connection router or proxy that resolves tenant identity to the right database, and a migration runner that fans schema changes out across thousands of databases. The hard parts are operational: connection pooling without exhausting resources, tenant-aware backups and restores, and secure credential isolation. This needs an experienced database and platform engineer, not only AI-assisted coding.
