The best apps are… Connected.
Connected apps challenges • Directory services? • Develop their own user database? • ODBC/JDBC? • Spring/ADO.NET? • REST/JSON? • SOAP/Webservice? • Custom serialization? 2. authentication and authorization User Interface(HTML5/Native) Data storage Business logic 1. query, update 3. data access 5. async notification 4. processing logic • .NET/J2EE? • PHP/Python? • iOS • Android • Windows phone
Azure Mobile Service Store data in the cloud Windows Store iOS Android Windows Phone 8 iOS Android HTML 5/JS SQL Table Storage Blob Storage Mongo DB Scripts: Table Scheduled Custom API User authentication Active Directory Facebook Microsoft SDKs Twitter Google Push notifications REST API Source control Notification Hubs WNS and MPNS APNS GCM
Getting Started Building a backend in a minute
Data storage Data Node.JS Scripts • Powered by SQL Database • Same DB – Multiple Mobile Services • Data management in • Windows Azure Portal • SQL Portal • SQL Management Studio • REST API Read script Delete script Insert script Update script REST over HTTP Client JSON Object{ firstName=“…”, lastName=“…” }
Server Logic • Automatic service REST API generated for storage • Dynamic Schema on/off • Ability to author server logic that intercepts CRUD operation pipeline • Rich querying capability • Node.js scripts • Intercept CRUD requests to tables • Fully customizable logic flow
Node modules request push.* sendgrid console mssql pusher statusCodes azure twilio
Authentication & authorization Authentication • Table level permissions for each CRUD operation • Everyone • Anyone with the Application Key • Only Authenticated Users • Only Scripts and Admins • 400 / Unauthorized response if a call doesn’t pass • More granular control with server side scripts • user.level: {admin, authenticated, anonymous} • user.userId: id or undefined if not authenticated
Authentication and server logic Define who and how is using our app
Push notification Notifications WNS MPNS APNS GCM iOS Windows 8 WindowsPhone 8 Android
Custom API, Schedules Scripts & Svcs Custom API Scripts Get script Post script Put script Patch script Delete script
Push notification and Custom API Add some logic behind the tables
Monitoring Monitoring
Logging Monitoring
.NET Support • Currently in preview • WebApi based service .NET Support
Wrap up • Easy to setup and use • Backend as a service • Cloud based • Scalable • Manageable • Ready to use on different platforms • Android, iOS, Xamarine, Windows 8, Windows Phone, HTML/JavaScript, PhoneGap • More @ http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/mobile/
