Question

Multiple TLDs in app platform.

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible within the same app platform instance where under one TLD I can target my server whilst under another I can target my static site both with the root route?

For example:

api.app.com -> server app.com -> static site.

I had a look through the docs and the community and couldn’t find an example of this unfortunately. Would appreciate any input on this, I suspect I might have to create another app specifically for my static site.

Hey @nifty,

With the App Platform, as of the time being, what you could do is to use different routes like /api for your different components rather than subdomains.

So what you could do is have your app.com domain mapped to your frontend static component, and then app.com/api mapped to your backend API web component.

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/manage-services/

If you wanted to have separate domains mapped to different components, the best approach would be to just create separate apps instead.

If you would still like to see that feature enabled, the best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
