Over in this blog post, we mentioned why we're named AzureCAT:

CAT stands for “Customer Advisory Team.” We work with customers who act as feedback Advisors back to our product teams, by working on engagements with those customers and building ground-breaking solutions!

While we help customers architect those solutions, we learn a ton in the process! And so we want to share those customer architectures with you. We call these technical customer stories (TCSs).

This blog lists out our AzureCAT TCSs. These are customer architectures from engagements led by our CAT and CSA (Cloud Solution Architect) teams. They are journeys into architectural design decisions that led these customers into highly successful solutions.

Each technical customer story includes the following sections (mostly):

1. A brief description of the company and their general business.
2. A deeper dive into the product or service that they are developing. If applicable, this includes a look at the previous architecture of their service. This also includes any requirements, weaknesses, or obstacles they wanted to fix by re-architecting their solution.
3. An overview of their new architecture on a given service (such as Service Fabric). This includes the specifics of how they implemented that architecture.
4. How that service fits into their other services and technologies used to build their system.
5. A deeper dive of their architecture and implementation of the Azure service (and related technologies).
6. A summary that concludes with the benefits gained from the new architecture.

Leave us a comment if anything is helpful, or if you have a question. Thanks!

UPDATES: I updated our formatting and links. I added our two newest TCS's, Zeiss Group (Service Fabric) and Accenture (Azure AI).

Next, I'll need to update all the links to the Service Fabric blog posts (when those blog posts are migrated here), and I'll replace the See Also section's links with some new ones.
