In this talk Joris Dries will go through the decision making process on why Resonate chose to use the Azure platform to underpin its SaaS solutions. The two flagship products of Resonate are its survey platform "Surveyer" and its online data analytics/workflow suite "Resonate Pulse" both make extensive use of the many features Azure has to offer. He will also spend time detailing specific challenges encountered when mapping the solution onto the Azure architecture, and how to leverage the burst capability of the Azure platform (i.e.: half a million surveys a month and where peak traffic comes in.)We'll specifically be taking a look at our advanced use of Table Storage, and the Azure Queue system as well as Diagnostics.
