  2. Objectives Intro to Azure App Service New enterprise features in Mobile Apps Mobile Apps + the power of Web Apps Offline Sync on mobile clients

  3. Azure App Service: one integrated offering Azure Mobile Apps =Mobile Services “v2” Web Apps Mobile Apps Azure Websites is now called Azure Web Apps Web apps that scale with your business Build mobile backendsfor any device Logic Apps Automate business process across SaaS and on-premises API Apps Easily build and consume APIs in the cloud

  4. Azure App Service • Automate business processes with logic apps • Build custom APIs or consume connectors from Marketplace • Create web and mobile experiences that share data access and business logic • Pool compute resources across your App Services using an App Service Plan

  6. How do people use Azure Mobile Services today?

  7. Build engaging apps • Sleeve Music uses Azure Mobile Services to help users discover music and follow artists • Social feeds feature uses the App Service Twitter connector to notify of artist events (concerts, etc.) Images courtesy of Orange Tribes

  8. Accelerate time to market • 3M built a parking tracker app in a weekend using Azure Mobile Services • App is offline sync enabled and uses Xamarin to work cross-platform

  9. Revolutionize business Skanska created a cross-device application that drew crucial construction and environmental data from the cloud in order to safeguard hospitals.

  10. And now, a story

  11. Online appointment booking! Push notifications and SMS alerts! 10 minute service window!

  12. FabrikamKable • Customer books appointment • Customer Valet assigns a technician using Web App • Web App creates a new case in CRM • Logic App sends push notification to customer …

  16. What’s new inAzure Mobile Apps?

  17. Azure Mobile Services Azure Mobile Apps Offline Sync Data connections Backend code .NET Node.js API Apps O365 SQL Tables Mongo Mobile SDKs User Authentication REST API Windows iOS Android HTML 5/JS Xamarin PhoneGap Sencha Web App Twitter Facebook Google Azure Active Directory Microsoft Offline sync Push Notifications Windows iOS OSX Kindle Android Chrome In-App

  18. New hosting benefits Richer monitoring and alerting Traffic manager Custom CNAMEs VNET and VPN Backup and restore More VM size and instance options In production A/B testing Auto load-balance Share capacity across Web and Mobile Staging slots Validate changes in your staging environment before publishing to production More devops features Support for BitBucket and Visual Studio Online; seamless integration with GitHub Web Jobs • Courtesy of Azure Web Apps (aka Azure Websites)

  19. App Service Platform View (Runtime) Web Apps Logic Apps Mobile Apps API Apps

  20. Demo Azure Preview Portal

  21. Azure Mobile Apps vs. Azure Mobile Services • Mobile Services – in classic portal • Mobile Apps – preview portal • When Mobile Apps is GA, will have all the features of Mobile Services • With Azure Mobile Apps, you have more control over your compute environment • All the hosting benefits of Web Apps at the same price

  22. Your existing investments are safe • Azure Mobile App is still in preview This is your chance to influence the product! • New features will go into Mobile Apps • Azure Mobile Services is still fully supported • After GA, we will offer a seamless migration experience • After General Availability, youchoose when to migrate to Azure Mobile Apps

  23. FabrikamKableMobile Backend

  24. FabrikamKable • Customer Valet assigns a technician using Web App • Web App creates a new case in CRM • Logic app sends push notification to customer • Web Job synchronizes CRM data to a custom SQL database

  25. FabrikamKable • Mobile App backend reads from SQL and writes through to CRM

  26. Demo Mobile App backend code

  27. Azure MobileOffline data sync

  28. The best mobile apps handle network interruptions gracefully.

  29. Adding offline sync to an app is usually hard.With Azure Mobile, it’s easy.

  30. Why use mobile offline sync? • Improve app responsiveness by caching server data locally on the device • Make apps resilient against intermittent network connectivity • Allow end-users to create and modify data even when there is no network access • Sync data across multiple devices • Detect and handle conflicts when the same record is modified by more than one client

  31. How it works • Access data from Mobile Services tables even when app is offline • Keep a local queue of Create, Update, Delete operations and synchronize with server when app is back online • Detect conflicts when same item is changed both locally and on server • Use soft delete to remove deleted records from client data stores • Can use push notifications to trigger client sync

  32. FabrikamKable • Mobile App backend reads from SQL and writes through to CRM • Mobile client SDK syncs SQLite db with Azure Mobile backend • Note: Client apps do not communicate directly with backend data source

  33. Demo Field Engineer client app

  34. Handle client sync conflicts Server conflict resolution Client conflict resolution

  35. Detect Conflicts with Optimistic Concurrency Server Device 1 Device 2 Create ▲, 1 ▲, 1 Fetch ▲, 1 ▲, 1 ▲, 1 Update ▲, 1 ■, 2 ▲, 1 ■, 2 Update ✘ ●, 2 ■, 2 ■, 2

  36. Demo Backend conflict handling

  37. Summary: Azure Mobile offline sync Lightweight and composable Eliminates burdens of database-to-database sync Works with a variety of server data stores SQL, Azure Tables, Mongo, Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, etc. Multi-platform client SDKs Windows Universal, Xamarin, iOS, Android

  38. Summary: Azure Mobile offline sync Supports both “primarily online” and “occasionally connected” scenarios Explicit push and pull leaves control to the developer Flexible and powerful Supports custom local storage layers Detect and handle conflicts on server or client
