Hi,
Note: this conversation started on the dev ML:
https://markmail.org/message/hb2kt5nkodhwnkgw
The multi-tenants feature in OFBiz only allows a dozens or maybe even few
hundreds tenants, after it begin to be a lot of DBs!
I faced that with a startup which wanted to handle thousands, if not millions
(actually they failed), of tenants, obviously OFBiz can't do that.
I don't break any secret to say that I was working with David (and Andrew) on a project in 2010 when David had to quickly answer to the client's
demand who wanted to have tenants. David brilliantly and quickly delivered, but it was only a start.
After many improvements, this feature still have some issues
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6066
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7900
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6164
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6065
Also this is somehow related
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6712
And most importantly
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7112
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7754
I recently read this article
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/architecture-constraints-end-multi-tenancy-gregor-hohpe/
and, after my experiences with multi-tenant as is in OFBiz, it made me wonder if we should not think about how it's done now in OFBiz in 2018 with the
clouds being everywhere!
Before sending this email, I quickly exchanged with David about how Moqui
handles that now. And we are on the same page, see

[1] Initially David gave me this link
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/multi-instance-moqui-docker-david-e-jones/
but it seems LinkedIn has lost it, as said in the stackoverflow comment.
So IMO why not deprecating the multi-tenants as is now and rather push a
multi-instances way?
Opinions?
