I'm thinking of creating a multi-tenant app using MongoDB. I don't have any guesses in terms of how many tenants I'd have yet, but I would like to be able to scale into the thousands.

I can think of three strategies:

All tenants in the same collection, using tenant-specific fields for security
1 Collection per tenant in a single shared DB
1 Database per tenant

The voice in my head is suggesting that I go with option 2.

Thoughts and implications, anyone?
