Overview of this book

To deliver software at a faster rate and reduced costs, companies with stable legacy systems and growing data volumes are trying to modernize their applications and accelerate innovation, but this is no easy matter. A Developer’s Guide to Building Resilient Cloud Applications with Azure helps you overcome these application modernization challenges to build secure and reliable cloud-based applications on Azure and connect them to databases with the help of easy-to-follow examples. The book begins with a basic definition of serverless and event-driven architecture and Database-as-a-Service, before moving on to an exploration of the different services in Azure, namely Azure API Management using the gateway pattern, event-driven architecture, Event Grid, Azure Event Hubs, Azure message queues, FaaS using Azure Functions, and the database-oriented cloud. Throughout the chapters, you’ll learn about creating, importing, and managing APIs and Service Fabric in Azure, and discover how to ensure continuous integration and deployment in Azure to fully automate the software delivery process, that is, the build and release process. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy cloud-oriented applications using APIs, serverless, Service Fabric, Azure Functions, and Event Grid technologies.

Exploring modern data warehouse analytics

In the age of data mining, most organizations have multiple data stores, often with different structures and varying formats because we may need to collect data from multiple resources. They often have live incoming streams of data, such as sensor data in the case of IoT solutions and it can be expensive to analyze this data. There is often a wealth of useful information available outside the organization. This information could be combined with local data to add insights and enrich understanding. By combining local data with useful external information, it’s often possible to gain insights into the data that weren’t previously possible. The process of combining all of the local data sources is known as data warehousing. The process of analyzing streaming data and data from the internet is known as big data analytics. Azure Synapse Analytics combines data warehousing with big data analytics.
