I recently challenged myself to take one of my side projects, on of my many multi-million dollar ideas, and develop it using some technologies that I am not fully accustomed to. For the back-end I am going to use Logic Apps, Azure Functions (JavaScript), Cosmos DB and for the front-end I am going to use…
In this series of articles we will access an Azure SQL database using an access token provided by Azure AD. Why would we even want to do this? Doing it this way means we DO NOT have to provide a User Id and Password in our connection string. In Part 1 we will create the…

Instead, I would rather focus on guiding the development team on how to best use the SDK, in this case the Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table SDK. What exactly is…
