You thought that Umbraco Uno was just for brochure sites? Nope!

In this presentation I will dive into the inner workings of umbr.coach - A coaching and mentoring platform for developers.

Enabling custom code in Uno, along with leveraging built in features of Umbraco Forms allows you to extend Uno's functionality in ways it was not necessarily envisioned to do.

The umbr.coach website allows mentors to create and manage their events via a mentor dashboard. This integrates with Eventbrite for creating events, while webhooks sit waiting to consume information about bookings. All of this happens ​via a combination of Azure Function Apps, CosmosDB, Sendgrid and more.

In this talk I will discuss all the microservices, libraries , and external integrations which I needed to deal with to get the project running end to end. I will talk about the pain points, architectural decisions, tradeoffs /considerations I was faced with, how I would have done some things differently in hindsight. Finally I will talk about what I would do if/when Uno gets the features from my wish list.

​

There will be code samples, and video demos, and live sound.
