🚀 Day 1 on django-rls-tenants — bringing true PostgreSQL Row-Level Security to Django multitenancy!

Instead of separate schemas or filtered querysets, this library leverages native RLS policies at the DB level to isolate tenant data automatically.

✅ Pros:
• True DB-level isolation — tenants can't bleed into each other
• Transparent to Django ORM — no custom managers needed
• Leaner than schema-per-tenant approaches
• Scales well for high tenant counts
• Security enforced even outside the app layer

❌ Cons:
• PostgreSQL-only (no MySQL/SQLite support)
• RLS policies add complexity to migrations
• Debugging cross-tenant issues can be tricky
• Superuser connections bypass RLS — needs care
• Less community tooling than shared-schema approaches

Still very early, but the foundations are solid. Would love feedback from anyone who's tackled multitenancy in Django before! 🐘🐍
