| Basel Positioning Azure Mobile Services Understanding Mobile Services and their Target Group

What is Windows Azure Mobile Services? Framework: create backend services Built with Node.js, based on Windows Azure Websites Target group: mobile apps Create Windows Store, WP, iOS, Android and HTML/JS apps super-fast Need one common backend to store and exchange data How you need to think about it? Need backend services for your apps…and your apps only Not a replacement for Websites or cloud services which offer higher level of control

Mobile Services App Architecture SDKs REST API Node.js Your Scripts (insert / update / delete / read)

| Basel DEMO

Working with data within a script Request (parameter of insert/update/del/read.js scripts) Execute the default operation Query (parameter of read.js script) Contains all information for filtering, paging, sorting Can be edited to add custom query logic Table/s CRUD operations + query MSSQL Direct SQL Statements Script Sample available here: Server script reference: Server Script example how tos:

A couple of preview features Scheduler Execute scripts on a Schedule (by minutes / hours /months...) Execute scripts on Demand (ex: schedule sending push notifications for a given time of the day) Scale Scale out instance count / scale up VM size / scale up SQL DB
