Does discourse hosting use docker for all customer instances?

@rubydoob

docker runs the discourse and the database etc?

Yes, almost all our hosting services are run in containers.

@rubydoob

Or do you have a shared database server where each customer has their own database?

With thousands of customers come thousands of databases

@rubydoob

If you run each customer using docker, what do you use to manage/orchestrate all of this??

Now that you mention, it’s been a while since we blogged about our hosting tidbits on our blog.

Nowadays we use a combination of Puppet and Nomad to do orchestration.

If there is a blog post those goes into the details that would be very interesting to read.

We should follow up on this @stella
