> [@Malik\_Rumi](#): > > Can the Python app read and access data written to the db by Ruby/Discourse, and vice versa? Yes, but the DB schema changes, the APIs not so much, so you are better using the many API endpoints. > [@Malik\_Rumi](#): > > So, if I follow the recommendation to use Digital Ocean, what [in addition to question 1] issues should I be aware of in wanting to integrate the two sites into a seamless user experience? A seamless user experience is, in most cases, having matching color schemas, same fonts, a matching header and links between the two sites. They don’t need to be on the same server for that. > [@Malik\_Rumi](#): > > Thanks so much in advance for your advice. I’ve been impressed with Discourse so far. I hope I can make it work for me. 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/single-database-multiple-apps/55650)._
