Multi-app tenancy?

[iOSDev33]

Super sad Parse is closing down. Got a question do we need to have separate parse servers / mongoDB's for each app? How do we migrate multiple Parse hosted apps? Thanks!

Right now it is intended to run a single app, and in a single database, yes. The capability to run more than one exists (see cache.js and testing-routes.js) but that doesn't allow for different cloud code per app. I'm open to making it multi-app capable.

This should be done, though notifications and webui are first priority.

I've been thinking about adding provisioning tools that can be used to spin up new instances of parse-server for a new app.

Something like using nginx for loadbalancing to different NodeJS instances. Would make it easier to scale out and wouldn't introduce additional code on the main code base.

Furthermore it'll be easier to move specific apps over to dedicated hardware if they require it.

IMO I would advise people to have separate servers for separate apps. I think it is much cleaner. I think people will disagree on this aesthetically though - it probably depends on your use case.

Hello @gfosco , @lacker ,
In the original parse website, we have options to add, and modify multiple app entries. So, is the open source a mini version of that? If that is the case, migrating a large number apps would require to have a large amount of servers.

+1 multi app support would be great
