    Multiple instances of the same application within a single app pool - advantages?

    I was wondering if there were any advantages to having multiple instances of the same application within one application pool.  So for example, I have a website that makes sandwiches and within that web app I have subordinate apps that, make bread, slice meat, add condiments, assemble, etc.  I actually have several of these websites running.  Five of these web apps run in one pool while another five run in another pool.  What I am wondering is are there any benefits to compartmentalizing this situation in a different way.  For example, instead of having the entirety of the application in a pool, what if I had all the slice meat apps in one pool, the condiment in another, etc.  Would resource utilization be more efficient in this scenario?

    Poor explanation but I hope you get the idea.  Thanks for entertaining the question and I look forward to your responses.

    Well, I am not familiar with cooking so it is hard for me to understand the description. Can you spend some time and provide a clearer explanation? Thanks

    Hi,

    Do you mean by that assign multiple applications to a single application pool ? Creating separate application pools for your applications is recommended. This ensures that one application’s error doesn’t negatively impact your other applications. Also, this allows you configure and monitor the application individually. But if you need to share data between different applications, then they might have to stay in the same application pool.

    Hi,

    I think you are referring to a Web Garden. If so refer to the online documentation for the considerations when using a web garden :
