  2. Agenda Windows Azure Mobile Services Data Push Notifications Auth Diagnostics & Scale

  3. What is Windows Azure Mobile Services? Auth Data Notifications Logging Server Logic Scale Diagnostics

  4. Key Scenarios Windows Azure Mobile Services are ideal for: Modern mobile apps Reduces the friction associated with repeating common tasks such as user authentication, push notifications, and structured storage Rapid Development Time is money. Get your app up and running sooner when you use Mobile Services to configure a straightforward and secure backend in less than five minutes. Apps requiring structured data Seamlessly connect to a Windows Azure SQL database for simple data management and dynamically created tables. Easy to set and manage permissions.

  5. Getting Starteda backend for your mobile app in minutes Demo

  6. Structured Storage Structured Storage with SQL Database If using single database apps are partitioned by schema AppX.Todoitem AppY.Todoitem Manage data in Portal SQL Portal SQL Management Studio REST API…

  7. 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

  8. Server Logic Supported Modules + Globals mssql request console push tables statusCodes mssql.query('select top 1 * from statusupdates', { success: function(results) { console.log(results); } } );

  9. REST API to SQL type mappings

  10. Server Logicadding server logic on CRUD operations Demo

  11. Push Notification Lifecycle Overview Mobile Services Windows 8 Request Channel URI Register with your Cloud Service Authenticate & Push Notification App (2) (3) (1) Windows Push Notification Service Notification Client Platform (3)

  12. Push Notifications Integrates with WNS to provide Toast, Tile and Badge notifications Portal captures your WNS client secret and package SID push.wns.* provides: clean easy object model to compose notifications Performs auth against WNS for you

  13. Push Notifications Demo

  14. Auth* Authenticate against Windows Live Table level permissions for each CRUD operation Everyone Anyone with the Application Key Only Authenticated Users Only Scripts and Admins More granular control with server side scripts user.level: {admin, authenticated, anonymous} user.userId: id or undefined if not authenticated

  15. Adding Authenticationintegrating with Windows Live Demo

  16. Diagnostics, Logging and Scale Diagnostics API calls CPU Time Data Out Logging console.error(…) console.log(…) … Scale - Compute Scale out instance count Scale up VM size Scale - Storage Scale out mobile service tenant to dedicated SQL DB Scale up SQL DB
