Lessons from Standing Up a Multi-Tenant Demo Bench

What 'multi-tenant' actually means here

One bench (backend, frontend, database, redis) can quietly host several independent sites at once, routed purely by the Host header. That's what lets us spin up a personalized demo per prospect without paying for a full stack per site.

The gotcha nobody warns you about

Docker's VOLUME semantics and asset manifests don't mix well with multi-container benches — get that wrong and every visitor sees a completely unstyled page. Worth its own post one day.

This post is illustrative content for a demo site.
