16. Real-World Examples
• The Client
• Leading player in online content delivery
• Key Challenge
• Develop a product that delivers content online while maintaining
data isolation between various tenants
• Integrates third party utilities and payment gateway
• Geographically distributed teams working on the same product
• Nightly builds to test
