Our business is sort of an ASP model where we have a single, main application to which we essentially sell subscriptions to large clients. Over the years, those clients have demanded unique changes to the app that have caused the main code base to split into separate versions.
Currently we run CF multi-server on JRun, so we have an instance for each of our clients. For some reason, we've always found this desirable, though we've never really seen any clear benefits other than being able to maintain separate CFAdmin settings and restart an instance without affecting all of our clients. We now wish to consolidate our code into a single app that pulls in custom styles, pages, features, content as necessary. One way to make this happen is to have a single application (code base) running on a single CF instance that pulls in custom materials from client directories where necessary. I having a feeling that moving from multi-instance to single-instance is going to be a hard sell. I have been picking up tidbits of information about CF8 that lead me to wonder if multi-instance CF is something on the wane anyway. Can anyone shed some light? I have more questions, but I will leave it at this for now.
