Describes moving from dozens to well over 100 sites under a single multisite with shared configuration and the concrete steps to get there: enable Drupal 8 config export/import, move sync directory out of sites files via settings.php, and use config split (and config filter) to package environment- or brand-specific subsets so overrides are full imports that show in the UI. Covers Webform handling, when to package config into profiles/modules, and the UUID “safety net” problem when sharing config between sites.
