Introduction
Azure mobile application is a technology that allows the user to connect their smartphone application to resources of great importance in cloud-connected mobile applications, such as authentication, push notifications, etc. Using the Azure Mobile apps, we can deploy our mobile backend services on Azure. This will allow our mobile's backend services to communicate with different Azure services, and we will be able to take advantage of various features offered by Azure Mobile Apps.
Features
Data Storage
Using the Azure Mobile app, our mobile's backend will be able to store data or access the data of the Azure SQL database using Azure table storage, Azure Blob storage, and Cosmos database. This will also allow the user to add offline sync features to their mobile app.
Client-Side development
After we have hosted our mobile backend services on Azure, we need a way to consume those services. Microsoft provides several client SDK's depending on the platform.
Authentication and Authorization
The mobile app on the user's smartphone can be integrated with different authentication providers. This allows the user to integrate with Azure's active directory, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and Twitter. This service can be integrated without any code.
Connectivity
In terms of connectivity to apps that are already hosted on a virtual network, our mobile app will be able to connect to the virtual network using either a point-to-site VPN or hosting the mobile app backend service onto an app service environment, which will connect to the virtual network automatically.
Availability service
A traffic manager can be used to provide higher resilience even during data center failure. Auto-scaling can be used to scale our mobile backend services when more users are about to start using the app.
Notification Hub
By using the notification hub feature, we can push notifications to different platforms and use mobile engagement to understand exactly what the user is doing with our app.
