Rails & Heroku: Can I share database between two apps? -

i have 2 similar applications on heroku, there way can make them share databases ? @ least user authentication ?

right after got answer question following came mind: using multi app architecture long term / heavy network system:

1- first issue face more processes have interacting shared resource, more face scaling/performance , timing issues.

2- complexity of models, because @ point i'm planning use rails engines, , realized mess of data_model_prefixes.

3- costy ? monolithic apps on 1 db vs many apps.

i found few other solutions regarding issue or let's approach:

1- letting every application have own database, maybe using api share common tables between applications.

2- if decided go aws, can use amazon rds plugin lets model being access different databases uing activerecord. sources:

and taskrabbit explained part of well:

the ugly part have angular on top of rails, it's hard scale @ point!

>heroku config | grep database

this give database url can use these variable values second app.

heroku config:set key1=value1 [key2=value2 ...]

these credentials can found heroku dashboard. tell me if works you.
