@AmieSeisay Custom API  API apps can be built in any technology (Node.js, Java,.NET, etc),  Requirement: the metadata is clearly defined according to Swagger 2.0 definitions  API App Projects in Visual Studio automatically come with Swagger metadata  Authentication is handled through adding keys and Azure takes care of the rest!

@AmieSeisay Gotchas!  SQL Connector  Change default table information for Polling  View the “Host” > “All Settings” > “Application Settings”

@AmieSeisay Gotchas!  SQL Connector  Prevent infinite polling in PollingStatement  SELECT * FROM [ChangeRequests]; DELETE FROM [ChangeRequests]

@AmieSeisay Gotchas!  SQL databases in Azure  Change firewall settings so that you can work with in Visual Studio
