Testing performance of Azure SQL Database as a key-value store

Dimitri Furman October 20, 2020 Oct 20, 2020 10/20/20

Executive summary Our testing shows that Azure SQL Database can be used as a highly scalable low latency key-value store. Starting with a cost-efficient 4-core General Purpose database, we see an order of magnitude increase in workload throughput as we increase dataset size by 100x and scale across the spectrum of database SKUs to a Business ...

Serverless Streaming At Scale with Azure SQL

Davide Mauri October 19, 2020 Oct 19, 2020 10/19/20

Just before Ignite, a very interesting case study done with RXR has been released, where they showcased their IoT solution to bring safety in buildings during COVID times. It uses Azure SQL to store warm data, allowing it to be served and consumed to all downstream users, from analytical applications to mobile clients, dashboards, API, and...

Optimize storage usage for large volumes of IoT data with Azure SQL

Silvano Coriani October 12, 2020 Oct 12, 2020 10/12/20

IoT with Azure SQL IoT solutions are generally producing large data volumes, from device to cloud messages in telemetry scenarios to device twins or commands that need to be persisted and retrieved from users and applications. Whether we need to store data in “raw” formats (like JSON messages emitted by different devices), to preserve and...

Ingest millions of events per second on Azure SQL leveraging Shock Absorber pattern

Silvano Coriani October 12, 2020 Oct 12, 2020 10/12/20

IoT with Azure SQL IoT workloads can be characterized by high rates of input data, on both steady and burst streams, to be ingested from devices. A common design pattern for relational database systems involves a “landing zone” (or staging area) which is optimized for “absorbing the shock” of this high and spikey input rate, before ...

Build your full-PaaS IoT solution with Azure SQL Database

Promises, Node, Tedious, Azure SQL. Oh My!

Davide Mauri October 4, 2020 Oct 4, 2020 10/4/20

If you are new to Node.js like I am, using Tedious to access Azure SQL can be challenging at the beginning. My understanding is that Tedious, while being fully asynchronous, doesn't support nor Promises nor the more modern async/await pattern. Tedious, in fact, uses events to execute asynchronous code and so a bit of work is needed ...
