How to Set Up Drupal Multi-Site with DDEV

A multi-site architecture involves running different websites on a single codebase. It shares a common resource for all websites. The advantages of having a multi-site architecture are consistency across different websites, simplified content management, cost effectiveness, and hassle-free maintenance.

Multi-site architecture is very useful when there are different sub-brands, regions, and bulky content to manage. It can eliminate heavy server load and can share common content resource for all websites which speeds up loading time.

Setting up a multi-site architecture in Drupal is very easy. Using DDEV, you can setup a Drupal 9 multi-site with single database using prefixes within minutes.
