How to Use Azure to Jumpstart Mobile App Development

Azure App Service is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft that enables you to deliver mobile apps quickly to market and do it at scale. Azure provides all of the tools you need to enable everything from the back-end database to the front-end user experience.

On the back-end, cloud data storage is available in the format you need, including traditional SQL RDBMS, blob storage or document databases. Azure’s SLA provides an up to 99.99% uptime guarantee for your database environment as well as geo-replication for failover and automatic backup services. Furthermore, offline synchronization is available to any data store supported by Azure. Azure’s auto-scaling capabilities allow the cloud infrastructure to automatically adjust to support the needs of your app as they change over time.

On the front-end, API-based services for single sign-on and push notifications provide the rich user experience that your end users expect. Everything is supported by Azure’s cloud-based services behind the scenes so you can stay focused on creating a valuable app experience for your customers.
