    • An incredibly feature rich open source live chat software that was backed by Y-Combinator. In fact they also have their hosted version with more features if you wish to use them. Makassan is a trimmed down version where the core essential live chat widget is the main product.

    • In order to keep the cost as low as possible, for websites with low traffic, there is no need to pay an insane amount of money for a simple live chat widget for a website, and so with less requests, you can share a server with other users. Your Makassan instance runs in 2 containers, isolated from other users.

    • Absolutely! Every user runs in their own 2 containers and nobody can view the other user's data. Containers are isolated and the data storage is separated by folders.

    • That is up to you do decide and if your website needs it. For example for this website, there is no need for a sole tenant server since the traffic isn't high enough. Data consideration is a non issue because other users on shared servers cannot access each other's data either. Papercups's software is incredibly efficient and can run multiple instances in a single virtual server.
