Avoiding common mistakes and pitfalls
Building a robust and secure cloud storage solution requires careful planning and adherence to best practices. It’s essential not to rush the development process, instead focusing on understanding and circumventing common mistakes. Let’s dive into some typical pitfalls in Azure Blob Storage and how to best avoid them for a smooth and efficient implementation:
- Storing secrets in plaintext:
- Mistake: Storing your connection string in plaintext within your application’s source code.
