Drupal SaaS: Building software as a service on Drupal
Colan Schwartz
Are you (considering) building a SaaS product on Drupal or running a Drupal hosting company? Have you done it already? Come share your experiences and learn from others.
Among other things, we'll be discussing:
Project vs. product business
Installation profiles / distributions
Customer service (e.g. GitLab's Service Desk)
Hosting architecture (Drupal hosting companies vs. Aegir)
Infrastructure (IaaS hosting providers: OpenStack vs. AWS, GCS, Azure, etc.)
E-commerce, recurring billing and subscription provider integration
Aegir Site Subscriptions
Others?
Resource quotas
Site admin access permissions for clients
...and any other related topics that come up.

Enterprise Cloud Architect, Drupal/Aegir/SaaS/PaaS/IaaS Consultant, Toronto
I'm an Enterprise Cloud Architect specializing in Drupal, Aegir, SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS consulting. I do technical planning and implementation to ensure sound and sustainable solutions. I’ve worked with Drupal for over 12 years, and maintain over 40 contributed modules. I’m a core maintainer of the Aegir Hosting System. In addition, I’m a certified software engineer, and have been security cleared by the Canadian government. I also volunteer my time to mentor students for Google Summer of Code (GSOC). My latest venture is Consensus Enterprises, where I'm a Founding Partner. Need a cloud solution? Looking to build a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering? Want some help with application lifecycle management (ALM) / DevOps / Cloud Architecture / Continuous Integration/Delivery (CI/CD) for hosting all of your sites and services? We're your technical partner. Although much of the work I do varies, here are some of the services I provide.
