It's the easiest way for us to direct them to their own VM and database.
It also seems to work pretty well for all the 37signals apps and and few others that segment this way.
- dan_sim 17y agoOk, if you have a special case for your app and it uses virtual machines and things like that, I would understand. But, talking about them, why 37signals are doing it? They have "normal" web applications that don't require that kind of separation to be efficient.
- fjabre 17y ago37Signals could probably do it some other way but this was the most convenient way for them it seems. They probably do it for the same reason we do: easy to direct traffic to different DBs and VMs this way, instead of waiting for the request to come in and direct it some other way. There might also be an added value to the business/account seeing their name in the url... Not sure about that one though.
