SmartHotel360 reference apps

SmartHotel360 is a fictitious smart hospitality company showcasing the future of connected travel. If you are a developer who wants to use our best-in-class-tools to build open, scalable, and intelligent cross-platform apps with a reliable Azure backend, download the SmartHotel360 reference sample.

The code is built using a microservice-oriented architecture orchestrated with multiple Docker containers. There are various services developed in different languages: .NET Core 2.0, Java, and Node.js. These services use different data stores such as SQL Server, Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, and Postgres. Watch the SmartHotel360 Demo App Overview for an end-to-end summary of how SmartHotel360 works.

In production, all SmartHotel360 microservices run in a Kubernetes cluster, powered by Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), as shown in this architecture diagram.
