Worker site overview

A worker site is a site that your end users are presented to. A Casewhere solution can have as many worker sites as needed. Each worker site has a unique URL, a different theme, and separate security policies.

Let's say you're developing a book shop solution. While you can totally manage all business processes using a worker site, it's better to separate them into different worker sites to target different audiences. A typical worker site breakdown can be as below:

• Frontend site: for shopping users
  • URL: book-store.casewhere.com
  • Theme: eCommerce, responsive is needed
  • Security:
    • Allow anonymous visitors
    • Social login, e.g., Facebook, Google, Twitter
• Backend site: for the staff users to manage books, orders, etc.
  • URL: book-store.casewhere.com/admin
  • Theme: eAdmin, no need for responsive
  • Security:
    • Username and password
• Configuration site: for the store manager or IT to configure the solution such as changing logo, translating text resources, adjusting business rules
  • URL: book-store.casewhere.com/config
  • Theme: eAdmin, no need for responsive
  • Security:
    • Username and password
    • IP whitelisted

Organizing worker sites is a critical step when designing an enterprise solution. Doing it properly and at the early phase will make your solution securer while providing the best experience for the end-users. Furthermore, you can put each worker site in a different product so you can have multiple teams develop, deploy and maintain them separately, thus making the overall development process more effective.
