Shared tenancy for Django

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
