Mobile Services Overview
Intro “Building a robust, modern mobile application often requires a developer to not only focus on the front end user experience, but also backend services such as data storage, user authentication, and often push notification services.“
“Windows Azure Mobile Services provides a scalable and easy-to-use ‘backend-as-a-service’ ”

Windows Azure Mobile Services Mobile Client Support
IOS, Android, Windows Phone
Auth*Authenticate against Windows Live, Twitter, Facebook, …
Table level permissions for each CRUD operationEveryone
Anyone with the Application Key (NOT A SECURITY TOKEN/CONTROL Hint that user is coming from your app (reduce chance of misuse))
Only Authenticated UsersOnly Scripts and Admins
More granular control with server side scriptsuser.level: {admin, authenticated, anonymous}user.userId: id or undefined if not authenticated
Data StorageLeverage strengths of Windows Azure SQL Database
New or Existing Database
Reporting, TSQL support, existing tools, etc.
Manage your way (portal, REST API, SSMS, etc.)
Partition applications by schema
App1.Users
App2.Users
Dynamic Schema Support (on/off)
Data Storage Lever
Automatic service REST API generated for storage
Ability to author server logic that intercepts CRUD operation pipeline (kind of trigers)
OData Interface
GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE
https://<service>.azure-mobile.net/tables/<table_name>/{<item_id>}
Send JSON in request body
Receive JSON as response

New to Mobile Services
New Things
Build and upgrade Mobile Services on your enviroment Test and run your future Mobile services definitions and code in your machine
Use extra modules You can add extra functions to base Mobile services based on 3rd party market resellers
example:
Use New Relic to have insights about hows services on azure are performing
Costum API Use Mobile Services to create to put in the cloud your one API, based on:
- Controller MindSet - HTTP Methods
Costum API How to call the api:
https://<service_name>.azure-mobile.net/api/<api_name>
Examples of API costumization
