Exactly how cutting edge is the technology at Krillan? One of Krillan’s founders, Trent Swanson, is currently developing technology for Microsoft that is utilized at Krillan on a daily basis. Recently, Trent co-authored and released a book for Microsoft titled “Cloud Design Patterns.” The guidance book is designed to help software architects and developers using cloud technologies, with examples on the Windows Azure Platform, which Trent has been a part of since it’s inception in 2009. “I have been working with Windows Azure since the very beginning, helping clients around the world build, deploy, and manage their cloud solutions on Windows Azure,” Trent says. “Whether it’s moving an existing application to the cloud or building new ones, I enjoy the entire lifecycle of delivering scalable, reliable, and manageable cloud solutions on Windows Azure.” To learn more about Microsoft’s cloud technologies or to see Trent’s book, check it out on Amazon.
