djaodjin-multitier is a Django application that implements shared tenancy.

Major Features:

• Dynamically select the following based on subdomain or path prefix:
  • Database connection
  • SMTP connection
  • Templates
• 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.

Development

After cloning the repository, create a virtualenv environment, install the prerequisites, create and load initial data into the database, then run the testsite webapp.

$ python -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r testsite/requirements.txt

# Create the fixtures databases and run the server
