Implement Multi-Tenancy in Liferay

[JITENDRA PANIGRAHY, modificado hace 12 años.]

Hi,

We are building a multi tenant SaaS product using Liferay.
We have implemented database Sharding with us.
--Need steps to implement Multi-tenancy in liferay. Would appreciate for any pointers
--Is it possible to mix sharding with multi-tenanncy ?

Many Thanks,
Jitendra

Sharding was designed for multi-tenancy in Liferay. So yes, they play well together. Take a look at the (slightly dated) wiki.

Thanks. FYI, we have already sharding implemntation with us. I was little misunderstood.

Isn't problem with your question. You've explicitly stated that you already have implemented sharding and wants steps to implement multi-tenancy. Hope the link I gave you provided you with the necessary information.

Yes, that provides the required information. Thanks

Hi,

I also tried to setup Liferay with sharding for multi-tenancy and had some challenges (Liferay 6.0 in my case), the main one being that for multiple shards (let's say thousands), on startup the server tries to create a connection to each and every shard - takes hours.

If you are interested how to solve this problem I've written 2 articles with the changes made such that the portal with 15000 shards starts in about 1 min. This is done by avoiding creating connections on startup, and only creating them when a shard is actually accessed.

I'm curios about any feedback and please let me know if anybody else has tried this or is willing to try.

kindest regards,
