Hi guys,

I made a rather small bot as a PoC and I already now have issues to organize my domain file in a way so that it is clear. Currently I have around 2500 lines in the file and I expect it to grow a lot. Is there a way to put the utterances in a database and just query them when they are needed? How do you keep an overview over the domain?

Hi @michaelh! Currently, it is not possible to store any templates in a database instead of the domain file. The templates need to be in that file. Other than the default structure recommended in the [documentation](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/domains/), we don’t have any best practices.

However, you can also use [Rasa X](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/) to manage your domain file. Rasa X allows you do add, edit, and delete templates, stories, intents, etc. As 2500 lines for a domain file is already quite big, it might help you to keep a better overview.
