djaodjin-multitier is a Django application that implements shared tenancy.
Major Features:
- Databases connections: Dynamically created based on subdomain or path prefix
- Templates: Selected based on subdomain or path prefix
- URL resolvers: Dynamic path prefix (as a hack in i18n module)
The notes of the presentation at a SF Django Meetup are useful to understand how middlewares, thread locals and template loaders were used to implement multi-tier applications here.
After cloning the repository, create a virtualenv environment, install the prerequisites, create and load initial data into the database, then run the testsite webapp.
