Chapter 1. Azure – A Solutions Development Platform

Abstract

The term “cloud solution” or the amplified declaration of “we are running on cloud” is not new to the modern software developers. Developing solutions for cloud has two aspects. One of them is thinking and architecting the application for the implications of cloud, such as cost, latency, data protection, etc. The second aspect is knowing the tools and services available for a chosen cloud platform and leveraging them to design solutions.

Chapter 4. Azure Active Directory and Multitenancy

Abstract

Based on the general definition available in the web sphere, software multitenancy is defined as – “single instance of software serving multiple tenants, where a tenant is defined as group of users sharing common access and privileges.” Though it is pragmatically hard to define what a single software instance is, it is quite common in the industry to address solutions as multitenant solutions based on their capabilities of handling different group of users; in enterprise SaaS solutions, often these groups are either different organizations or different departments.

Chapter 5. Getting Started with Azure NoSQL Services

Abstract

NoSQL persistence is popular and gaining accelerated dominance in the industry. The fundamental specialty of NoSQL persistence is that they can be scaled out with no or very few restrictions compared to the relations databases. NoSQL persistence also helps the modern application development with growing data in large volume, velocity, and velocity and veracity.

Chapter 7. Integrating Azure Search

Abstract

Search is an essential part of any application; sometimes search defines the entire functionality of an application as well. Azure Search is a search-as-a service model, where the management of search resources is handled by Azure and developers are left to focus on the search functionality.

Chapter 8. Data Visualization with Power BI Embedded

Abstract

Power BI Embedded is the famous Power BI as a service in Azure. It allows us to have rich interactive data visualizations embedded in custom applications, without the requirement of having separate Power BI related licenses. The entire service is managed by Azure, and we can use the familiar Power BI desktop tools to create the reports.
