What is Budget Bytes?<\/h2>\nBudget Bytes is an episodic video series featuring developers building end-to-end scenarios from scratch. But here’s what makes it different:<\/div>\n\n- Real costs, tallied live<\/strong> – At the end of each episode, we show you exactly what it cost to build and run.<\/li>\n
- Authentic development<\/strong>\u00a0– Speakers show their actual process, including mistakes and debugging (because that’s real life).<\/li>\n
- Practical patterns<\/strong> – Learn new tools, APIs, design patterns, and processes you can apply immediately.<\/li>\n
- Replicable solutions<\/strong>\u00a0– Every demo, you can look at the GitHub repository so you can deploy it yourself!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis season centers around the Azure SQL Database Free Offer<\/a>, demonstrating how you can leverage enterprise-grade database capabilities without the enterprise price tag.<\/div>\n
What You’ll Learn<\/h2>\n
Each episode is packed with practical takeaways:<\/p>\n
\n- New tools and technologies<\/strong> – From Microsoft Foundry to Copilot Studio to Model Context Protocol<\/li>\n
- Real-world design patterns<\/strong> – See how experienced developers architect cost-effective solutions<\/li>\n
- Hands-on deployment<\/strong> – Every solution can be deployed to your own Azure subscription<\/li>\n
- Continuous learning<\/strong> – Each episode links to Microsoft Learn modules for deeper dives<\/li>\n
- New to Azure SQL?\u00a0<\/strong>– Get started by learning through real use cases in each episode, and get inspired to apply them to your own ideas!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
