- toddt 17y agoI'm surprised they didn't come up with that solution on the first pass. I used to work for a web hosting company and I designed and wrote a similar 'dispatch' system for their private label customer portal that was used for resellers. Much better maintenance and performance.
- rlivsey 17y agoThat was my first thought too, seems like the simpler solution and the way I've built multi-site apps in the past. It sounds like they are still using a different database per site, as opposed to one database and scoping data by an account_id. I wonder what the performance gain is over the complexity it adds. I remember this is the same way that FogBugz was setup too and they ran into issue when they had so many small databases instead of one large one.
