TechEd 2013 - Day 1

By

First day of TechEd Europe 2013 has just ended. What can I say? Wow. A lot of interesting sessions about Microsoft technology. I participate to a lot of session on different topics like big data, legacy code, loading and performance testing into the cloud and how we can increase the performance of our application.
Let’s see some ideas that I noted and I want to share with you:

  • Creating a virtual network with the machines that we have into the cloud we can make remote debugging very easily from Visual Studio.
  • With the new version of SQL Server and having in-memory database we can increase our performance with a factor of 6x. If we recreate the store procedures the new SQL Server will create binary code for the store procedure (as DLL) – we can gain up to 26x better performance.
  • A testing and reviewed code will contains up to 70% less bugs.
  • PerfView is a great tool, I need to check it out.

If you deploy a VM or a web site to Azure you can win a super car (Microsoft content – I hope that they will pay the insurance also).
See you tomorrow.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...
