in search of multitenant framework for interpreted models




Hi,




I don't know such a framework. I checked a lot of solutions that promised parts of that but there was never a solution that I would recommend.




Often solutions was limited to more or less CRUD front ends to a database.



All solutions I checked was building code that had to be compiled.



There was often problems when the database was changed (which is indeed quite hard. How should such a solution know if it was a rename or a drop + recreate of a column or table?




And regarding integration and customisation: my experience was that the effort afterwards is much higher than a regular MVC website.




Also keep in mind: professional solutions really need to fulfil some things like



- version control



- automatic tests




I even created a database frontend quickly (great start: created and deployed the solution in less than a day) when there was a need for a quick solution. But afterwards it was the hardest thing to maintain that I ever had and we will replace it soon with a MVC based web solution.




I don't know your exact requirements but I fear that there is no easy and quick solution for even non experts (also something that can be hard. Even the database design must be done properly!)




But maybe you like a solution like spring framework and spring too for a first quick solution? That way you can get a propper solution and you can even remove a few dependencies (so you might want to drop spring too after creation of the solution.)




Not what you are looking for but maybe my negative experience is useful for you, too.

PS: the solution I was talking about was a MS Lightswitch solution...
