Fabrikam Shipping SaaS Sample

October 8, 2010 8:04 am /

My good friend Vittorio Bertocci has just posted a new demo that shows how you can build multi-tenant applications on Windows Azure called Fabrikam Shipping.

FabrikamShipping SaaS is a complete subscription based solution running on the Windows Azure platform and publicly available thru www.fabrikamshipping.com. It offers a web-based customer onboarding UI, which anybody can use for creating test subscriptions and obtain their very own application instance, dynamically provisioned by a simple but powerful provisioning engine. Thanks to our partnership with our friends evangelists at PayPal, it even demonstrates how to integrate payments and billing via an external provider!
