Summary
In this module, you learned about Data API Builder (DAB), a powerful tool for creating modern REST and GraphQL endpoints for your Azure SQL Database. You also discovered how DAB supports various databases, and offers cross-platform compatibility, security, and ease of use. Additionally, you explored the process of using DAB, which involves creating a new project, configuring the database connection, and defining API endpoints. The module also covered Azure Static Web Apps, a service that simplifies the coding and deployment of static web apps, and how DAB integrates with it for easy hosting of database APIs.
One of the main takeaways from this module include understanding the functionality and benefits of Data API Builder and Azure Static Web Apps. You learned how to create and deploy a data API for an Azure SQL Database using these tools, along with Visual Studio Code and GitHub. Furthermore, you gained insights into Azure Web App for Containers, a robust solution for developing a data API that uses the power of containers and Azure's managed services for enhanced portability, scalability, and simplified management.
