On Friday, October 26th, I presented at DrupalCamp Ottawa 2018, the annual gathering of the Drupal community in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Session Information

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.
