Anyway to reload only one app in DispatcherMiddleware

[humiaozuzu]

from http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/appdispatch

from werkzeug.wsgi import DispatcherMiddleware
from frontend_app import application as frontend
from backend_app import application as backend

application = DispatcherMiddleware(frontend, {
    '/backend':     backend
})

In deployment environment, I can only reload both frontend and backend app.

That's correct. When using the dispatcher there's no way to avoid this. However, nothing stops you from keeping the two apps separated (i.e. as two wsgi apps in your webserver / wsgi container).

[humiaozuzu]

@ThiefMaster Are the two wsgi apps share one process?

@humiaozuzu Yes they do. If you want to separate them so that you can reload them separately, i would recommend doing the dispatching in nginx or Apache.
