+   - Separate data storage per tenant with shared application code
+   - Tenant identification via subdomain or header
+   - Database-level isolation with tenant_id foreign keys
+
+2. Technology Stack:
+   - FastAPI: Modern, fast web framework with async support
+   - SQLAlchemy: ORM for database operations
+   - Pydantic: Data validation and settings management
+   - JWT: Token-based authentication
+   - PostgreSQL: Primary database (with migration support)
+   - Redis: Caching and session storage

+   - FedRAMP compliance for government work
+   - Accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)
+
+5. Deployment:
+   - Docker containerization
+   - Docker Compose for local development
+   - Kubernetes-ready manifests
