Introduction to Application Data
Our ability to collect and process large amounts of data has grown over the years as technology has allowed us, as humans, to gather and collate significant amounts digitally. This has then enabled us to analyze large datasets from longer time periods and produce meaningful information that can improve or help to solve a problem and understand the cause.
In this chapter, we will cover the use of Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Cosmos DB, or a combination of them, to determine the operational needs, latency requirements, and transaction requirements for your data. We will present a microservices solution that includes some web APIs, and each API will use a different data service.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- An overview of data classification and data concepts
- Exploring relational data concepts in Azure
- Exploring non-relational data concepts in Azure
- Exploring modern data...
