Developing with Azure SQL – Advanced

Abstract

After having discussed the foundational aspects of querying and manipulating data, it’s now time to focus on more advanced and development-oriented features that you can use in Azure SQL. If you already took a peek at the chapter content, you may be surprised to find a full section on security. Don’t be. Security is not something that can be added later, like an afterthought, that is a nice to have but not so core. On the contrary, security is important as much as performances and maintainability and must be taken into consideration from the ground up. Therefore, the options Azure SQL offers you to keep your data secure are a must-known for everyone who wants to create a modern application – modern because it is not only scalable and modular, but because it is also secure.
