Abstract
The present invention discloses methods and systems for hosting tenants in a computer-based environment in which a provider stores a shared data structure. Each of the tenants may communicate with a middleware module storing metadata referencing the shared data structure and a tenant-specific data structure specific to the first tenant for access by the first tenant. Based on the metadata and in response to a data request from the first tenant, the system may the query the provider or the first tenant for requested data and provide the requested data based on the querying.
