Can the following setup be achieved with a single App Specification file (= single App)?
-
single managed PostgreSQL Cluster (PCLUSTER)
-
example.comis the main domain and it serves a next.js application fromproductionit branch; it connects toapi.example.com -
api.example.comis Laravel API fromproductiongit branch; it connects toproductiondatabase in PCLUSTER -
example-staging.comis staging area; it runs next.js fromstaginggit branch and connects toapi.example-staging.com -
api.example-staging.comis Laravel API fromstaginggit branch; it connects tostagingdatabase in PCLUSTER
I am confused about how to configure the domains top level setting and routes per-instance settings to make this setup work. Please advise.

Currently all routable components in an app would need to share the same set of domains, so if you wanted your next.js app on a different domain than your API then they would have to be separate apps for now. Similarly for your staging app. This may change in the future, especially if we hear enough feedback about it.
An alternative would be to put your nextjs site on example.com and your API service on example.com/api (via the route path config), within the same app. You then also have access to bindable env variables that can be used to reference other components in your app, on the internal network or external depending on if you nextjs is deployed as a static site or service. In this model, your staging app would still be a separate app for now.
Hey there,
Quick update here, the ability to point multiple domains to different services in a single App Platform app is currently being worked on by the DigitalOcean team!
