There are many considerations to take into account if you host an application
independently or alongside other applications in a multisite configuration. The
most important factor in making this decision is the criticality of the
application.
To determine the best configuration for an application, find the answer to the
following questions:
If the answer to these questions is “yes”, then use a single application
configuration.
The following table lists both the configurations:
Configuration | Description |
|---|
Single application | This configuration is reserved for mission critical applications with
unique functionality. In this configuration, you host a mission critical
application independently from any other application so that the
application does not affect the uptime by utilizing server resources.
Security policies can also prevent other dev teams from accessing the
code repository. |
Multisite | This configuration is intended for applications that are smaller in size
and have lesser impact to the business if outages occur. Applications
hosted in a multisite configuration have similar functionality and
traffic patterns with a significant amount of feature parity amongst
applications. A centralized platform and development are
preferred to easily communicate and coordinate regarding enhancements,
testing, and deployments. Deploying new enhancements to the platform
must happen on a fixed schedule. |
