Zero-Config Wildcard Routing in ODAC Cloud
Multi-tenancy has always been the final boss of infrastructure. If you have ever built a SaaS platform where every customer gets their own subdomain (think customer1.app.com, customer2.app.com, and a thousand more), you know the specific flavor of hell that is manual DNS management and SSL rate-limiting.
Traditionally, you were stuck between two bad choices: manually adding every single subdomain (and praying your CA doesn’t rate-limit you) or wrestling with complex reverse proxy configurations and fragile wildcard scripts.
We decided there was a third way. The ODAC way.
Today, we are introducing full support for Wildcard Domains and automated Wildcard SSL certificates in ODAC Cloud. It is networking that just works, at any scale.
The Power of the Wildcard
When we say "Wildcard Everything," we mean it. You can now point an entire namespace at your application with a single entry. Whether you have ten tenants or ten thousand, ODAC routes the traffic instantaneously with zero added latency.
This isn't just about routing; it’s about the peace of mind that comes with knowing your infrastructure scales as fast as your database.
Zero-Touch Wildcard SSL
A wildcard domain without a wildcard SSL certificate is only half a solution. That is why ODAC Cloud now handles the entire ACME handshake for wildcard certificates automatically.
When you add a wildcard domain like *.yourdomain.com, ODAC doesn't just route the traffic: it provisions a secure, auto-renewing certificate that covers every possible subdomain. No more multi-SAN certificate bloat, and no more hitting certificate authority limits.
How it Works (for You)
Setting this up is so simple it almost feels like cheating. You don't need to touch a single config file or restart a proxy manually.
- Head to the Dashboard: Log in at app.odac.run and open your Live Canvas.
- Select Your App: Click on the application you want to scale.
- Add the Domain: In the Domains section of the inspector, click Add Domain.
- Go Wild: Enter your domain in wildcard format (e.g.,
*.odac.run) and hit Enter.
The moment you hit Enter, ODAC begins the orchestration. We verify the DNS, provision the wildcard SSL via Let's Encrypt, and update the global routing table. Your server appears on the Live Canvas with its new identity in seconds.
Instant DNS Resolution
We know that speed is a feature. That is why our networking layer uses a high-performance resolution engine that ensures dynamic routing happens in O(1) time. There is no performance penalty for having thousands of active subdomains. Whether a user hits api.yourdomain.com or legacy-v1-test.yourdomain.com, the request is mapped and routed with sub-millisecond precision.
Intelligent Deduplication
We also obsessed over the edge cases. If you have a specific subdomain like www.yourdomain.com already configured and then add *.yourdomain.com, ODAC is smart enough to handle both gracefully. Our SSL manager deduplicates certificates to ensure your environment stays clean and your security posture remains airtight.
Stop wrestling with networking boilerplate. Point your domain, go wild, and let ODAC handle the rest.
