Hello all! Just curious what y’alls typical setup is when it comes to running multiple stacks which require the same “support” containers.
What I mean is, say you want to run two services that both require a connection to a database, would you run two separate DB containers, one for each service and have them connected only to their respective DB “stacks”? Or do you prefer to run a single centralized DB server/service and have your self hosted stacks all communicate with their own databases inside the server?
Multiple. They might need different versions of the database server, they might need to be scaled differently, they might need to be backed up at different cadences, they might need to be moved to different servers…. Etc.
The small marginal resource reduction is just not worth it.
