Wingtip Tickets SaaS app

The Wingtip Tickets app is a simple event listing and ticketing SaaS app, where each venue is a tenant with events, ticket prices, customers, and ticket sales. The app, together with the management scripts and tutorials, showcases an end-to-end SaaS scenario. This includes provisioning tenants, monitoring and managing performance, schema management and cross-tenant reporting and analytics, all at scale. This application is functionally identical across all three versions repositories.

Standalone app (aka app-per-tenant) pattern

This project contains a single tenant application with a single tenant database. Each tenant’s app is deployed into a separate Azure resource group. This could be in the service provider’s subscription or the tenant’s subscription and managed by the provider on the tenant’s behalf. This pattern provides the greatest tenant isolation, but is typically the most expensive from a resource cost perspective as there is no opportunity to share resources across multiple tenants. The app uses the same patterns that might be used if the venue wrote the application for themselves. While the app is a single-tenant app and so doesn't need a catalog to resolve the location of the database, a catalog can still be provisioned and used by many management scenarios, enabling, for example, schema management of all tenant databases, cross-tenant query for reporting purposes, cross-tenant analytics, etc.

Get started

The application, which includes sample data for one of three venues, can be installed in your Azure subscription within a single Azure resource group. To uninstall the application, delete the resource group using the Azure Portal.

NOTE: if you install the application you will be charged for the Azure resources created. Actual costs incurred are based on your subscription offer type but are nominal if the application is not scaled up unreasonably and is deleted promptly after you have finished exploring the tutorials.

More information about the sample app can be found in the associated tutorial.

Click any of the buttons below to deploy a venue-specific version of the app to Azure. Deploy each app in a new resource group and provide a short user value that will be appended to resource names to make them globally unique. Your initials and a number is a good pattern to use.

IMPORTANT: USE THE SAME USER VALUE FOR ALL THREE APPLICATIONS.

Contoso Concert Hall

Fabrikam Jazz Club

Dogwood Dojo

After deployment completes, launch the app by browsing to the corresponding URL, substituting USER with the value you set during deployment:

http://events.contosoconcerthall.USER.trafficmanager.net

http://events.fabrikamjazzclub.USER.trafficmanager.net

http://events.dogwooddojo.USER.trafficmanager.net
