Document Running Two Projects with Different Domains on Development

[danpastori]

👉 Describe the problem

I have a frontend that runs in an entirely different repo as the backend. I need both pieces of the application to run at the same time locally, but use different top level testing domains. I know you've set this up for me before, but this should be documented so other users can utilize the power of Spin.

👥 Problem evidence & reach

• Anyone who is running a separate repo for their frontend or backend code
• Anyone writing headless services that need to be running at the same time and accessible locally.

🥰 Describe the "impact" on users?

Spin can be used to manage so much more than just one single application and can be used on a variety of scenarios.

🏆 How to solve this problem

Write the documentation necessary to run two separate apps in development at the same time and make them accessible through different top level domains.

For example, let's say we are working on Bugflow. We need to run the API at bugflow.dev.test and we want to set up a test "guest" site to test the embed script at testapp.dev.test. How would we configure this locally and bring the services up and down.

💯 How do we validate the problem is solved?

A developer or user of Spin can easily configure the two different projects and utilize Spin in more advanced scenarios.
