Figuring \w+ out

Today, many web applications depend on custom API backends to have access to databases. This approach allows you to have full flexibility over your database calls but building out such a backend can be tedious and complex, especially when considering the edge cases of a data-access backend such as authorization and relationships. With Static Web Apps’ database connections feature, and its underlying open-source project Data API Builder, you now have more options to build out database-backed web applications. In this blog article, we cover the considerations of choosing between these various options.   A quick introduction to the Static Web Apps database connections feature   As announced last week, Static Web Apps database connections is a new feature to connect and use databases directly …

How to easily deploy a MERN Stack application to Azure App Service MongoDB Atlas and Azure are great friends! In fact, they became even better friends recently with the addition of the MongoDB Atlas Pas-as-You-Go Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription to the Azure Marketplace, allowing you to use your existing Azure credits to enjoy all the benefits of the MongoDB Atlas Developer Data Platform. So there is no better time to learn how you can take advantage of both of these.   In this article, we are going to see how you can deploy a MERN stack application to Azure Web Apps, part of Azure App Service, in a few simple steps. By the end of this, you will have your own version of the website that can be found here.   Table of Contents Prerequisites What’s the MERN Stack? Create the Azure A…

If you're running an application on Azure Container App, there may come a time when you need to troubleshoot network issues. One of the best ways to do this is by collecting a network trace. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of collecting a network trace on Azure Container App using the `tcpdump` tool.   Step 1: Accessing the Azure Container App Console To access the Azure Container App Console, navigate to your container app in the Azure Portal. Once you've selected your container app, click on the "Console" option under the "Monitoring" blade. This will open up a terminal window in your browser that you can use to connect to your container.   Step 2: Installing `tcpdump` In case `tcpdump` is not installed on your container, you can easily install it using the package …

If you've followed Part 1 and Part 2 of the azdev-ify or azd-ify series and are wondering whether you need to completely rework your Bicep files to `azd up` your app, you're in luck! The solution may be simpler than you think.   In this post, I'll walk you through the steps involved, which include: creating an "azure.yaml" file via `azd init` adding a "main.parameters.json" file properly tagging your resource group and resources with `azd-env-name` for deployment targets, add the corresponding `azd-service-name` tag as defined in "azure.yaml" To demonstrate the process, I collaborated with my colleague Farhat Saleem in the Customer Success Team to azd-ify a sample integration app template that guides users through the process of setting up API Management policy for sending data to Azure …

We are launching a new way to pay for Azure Spring Apps -- the consumption pricing plan. This plan is now in public preview so you can start creating and deploying apps today. This new plan is super-efficient because you can start from zero and scale to zero vCPU.  You get more straightforward pricing across your containerized applications since it costs the same as Azure Container Apps, but with added value for Spring apps.   How does this work? With the new plan, you can deploy apps that don’t need to run all the time or apps that have bursts of traffic and only pay for the resources used. This is a “serverless plan”, which means your apps can scale out and in automatically depending on the number of HTTP requests or events they receive or simply run as always-on background jobs.   This …

Azure Container Apps is a powerful tool for running containerized applications in the cloud. However, if you need to transfer files (custom log files, network captures, etc.) from your container app to another destination such as your local machine or Azure Blob Storage, you might find that the process is not as straightforward as you'd like. In this post, we'll walk you through the steps to transfer files from your Azure Container App to Azure Blob Storage using the `curl` command. Once the file is present on your Blob Storage, you can easily download it to your local machine from the Azure Portal itself in case you need to analyze the logs or network traces with a local tool.   Step 1: Accessing the Azure Container App Console To access the Azure Container App Console, navigate to your c…

Since we launched the early public preview of Azure Container Apps on Arc enabled Kubernetes clusters last December, we have been working to continue to bring new features and capabilities to the preview (Container Apps on Azure Arc Overview | Microsoft Learn).  One area we have been keen to improve is the onboarding process and steps required to deploy your first Azure Container App on an Arc enabled Kubernetes cluster.   The number of steps and number of CLI extensions required to get to the point of having an app up and running is quite extensive: Connect a Kubernetes cluster to Azure Create a Log Analytics Workspace for app logs Deploy the Azure Container Apps extension to the cluster Create a new or use an existing Custom Location and bind it to the extension on the cluster Create a …

For the last few jobs, I’ve kept a private are.na board of competition. Every time I saw something that looked like it was competing with Observable, or Placemark, or val.town I’d add it to the list. Eventually I’d have a big gallery of screenshots of all the other companies and projects doing something similar to what I was building. I still don’t really understand competition. Like a lot of concepts in business, it’s flexible and contextual in a way that technology itself isn’t. But there are a few things that have started to make sense.

We’ve introduced remote debugging support for Azure Spring Apps and Azure Function Apps. We also made some major improvements and continue to support Open…

Overview Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that allows you to run code on-demand without having to manage infrastructure. It supports various types of triggers, including HTTP triggers, which allow you to expose your function as a RESTful API. However, while working with Azure Function HTTP triggers, you may encounter a 404 error, which indicates that the requested resource was not found. In this blog, we will learn the possible causes of the Azure Function HTTP trigger 404 error, along with examples to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue.   Causes of Azure Function HTTP Trigger 404 Error   The Azure Function HTTP trigger 404 error can occur due to various reasons, including:   Incorrect Function Name or URL Path One of the common causes of the Azure Function HTTP…

You can view the full series of GraphQL on Azure articles on my website.   This is the last in the three part sub-series looking at the newly launched Data API builder for Azure Databases (DAB) and while last time we looked at creating a React application, this time I wanted to look at how to do the same thing but in .NET using Blazor. So let's jump in and learn about how to use SWA Data Connections with Blazor. Oh, and for something different, let's try also use a SQL backend rather than Cosmos DB. Setting up DAB When we've looked at DAB so far, we've had to create two files, a config for DAB and a GraphQL schema containing the types. Well since we're using SQL this time we can drop the GraphQL schema file, as DAB will use the SQL schema to generate the types, something it couldn't do fro…

You can view the full series of GraphQL on Azure articles on my website.   In the last post I introduced you to a new project we've been working on, Data API builder for Azure Databases (DAB) and in this post I want to look at how we can use it in Azure, and that will be through one of my favourite Azure services, Azure Static Web Apps, for you see, as part of the announcement today of DAB, we've announced that it is available as a feature of SWA (called Database Connections), so let's build a React app! Local Development One of the neat things about working with SWA is that we have a CLI tool which emulates the functionality of SWA, and with today's announcement, we can use it to emulate the Database Connections feature, so let's get started. First off, we need to ensure we have the lates…

You can view the full series of GraphQL on Azure articles on my website.   I'm really excited because today we launched the first public preview of Data API builder for Azure Databases or DAB for short (the official name is a bit of a mouthful ­;p). The important links you'll need are: SQL announcement Cosmos announcement Docs SWA integration announcement GitHub Repo What is DAB DAB is a joint effort from the Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Cosmos DB teams to provide a simple and easy way to create REST and GraphQL endpoints from your existing database. Now obviously this is something that you've always been able to do, but the difference is that DAB does it for you (after all, that's the point of this series) so rather than having to write an ASP.NET application, data layer, authentica…

Whenever I shop online, checking the reviews of the products is a tedious task. Sometimes the low-rated reviews are based on delivery, packaging... whereas a few high-rated reviews might be on cost but not on quality. Generally, reviews/ratings are displayed without any context which results in customers needing additional time and effort to get the most value out of it. Hence, we built this prototype using Azure Open AI to present the consolidated information from all the reviews of a product.     We fed all the reviews of a specific product to GPT-3 text-davinci-003 model with a prompt to classify the text based on the three categories – Cost, Quality, and Delivery. Prompt is where user provide the English text command which the API endpoint of the model will use to generate the complet…

As we know, we can link existing Azure function app to Azure static web app. After that, the Azure Functions app will be mapped to the /api route of your static web app.   In the following example, function app tonytesthttp has been linked to static web app.     When we try to access the function app outside static webapp, we will encounter Bad Request error. We understand that the static web app must do something to block the request. We can try to unlink the function app from static web app. However, you will find the function app still encounters the same error. How can we make our function app back to normal?     If you read the official document (Bring your own functions to Azure Static Web Apps | Microsoft Learn) carefully, you will find following statement.   If authentication and authorization policies aren't already set up on your existing Functions app, then the static web app has exclusive access to the API. To make your Functions app accessible to other applications, add another identity provider or change the security settings to allow unauthenticated access.   It seems that the link operation will add authentication limitation to only allow static webapp to access the function app. If you navigate to the authentication setting of the function app, you will find the static webapp was added as an identity provider. Even we unlink the function app to static webapp, the identity provider will not be removed automatically. We need to remove the identity provider manually. After that, the function app will work again.

We are happy to announce that we have made significant improvements in the performance of the WP Admin.  Try out the WordPress site deploying from here.        Although WordPress is an excellent content management system (CMS), it isn’t without its issues.

What to say about this month - well, I’m a few days late to the Recently, because I’ve been pretty busy! Things are good. Building products is fun but also a lot of work. Pretty excited about what I’m working on. Ready for winter to end. Reading I enjoyed reading Ross Barkan’s What to Do About Police, though it’s bound to generate some controversy. Barkan is, I think, a geniunely ‘center’ or balanced commentator, if you consider the political spectrum of major American cities as the guide. He also has a sense for reading polls and knowing people enough to identify surprising but true disconnects between what we think people believe and what they do.

Almost every aspect of the internet world requires authentication. Authentication is the process of verifying client or server identity before accessing resources to protect information security. Azure App Service provides sets of authentication technologies to protect and secure your web application. However, it is a steep learning curve to know all of them, and we often get lost in the details of the documentations. The purpose of the article is to give you an intuitive way to understand the authentication features in App Service and a high-level summary of different authentication models, their usage scenarios and useful links.   Speaking about authentication in App Service, we can make an analogy with network traffic that there is incoming calls and outgoing calls. Similarly, authentic…

Background: There is a symptom with low throughput in Service Bus triggered function due to Service Bus's message session enabled. This blog we're going to do a lab to demonstrate the cause and effect of this situation.   Common causes: According to session features description (Azure Service Bus message sessions - Azure Service Bus | Microsoft Learn), since a session receiver is created by a client accepting a session. When the session is accepted and held by a client, the client holds an exclusive lock on all messages with that session's session ID in the queue or subscription. It will also hold exclusive locks on all messages with the session ID that will arrive later. Hence, if all the messages are with same session id, there is only one receiver can consume these messages one by one…

We need to pay more attention to the physical impacts of mental illness. It could not only be messing with your mind, but also your heart, say scientists.

A new study shows that young adults when sleep-deprived evaluate angry faces as less trustworthy and healthy-looking. Furthermore, neutral and fearful faces appear less attractive following sleep loss.

Scientists pinpoint the molecular epicenter of deep-sleep regulation. The findings, based on research in mice, identify a gene that makes a protein that regulates delta waves -- electrical signals between neurons that occur during the deepest phases of relaxation and are a hallmark of restorative sleep.

Researchers presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness.

Seven hours is the ideal amount of sleep for people in their middle age and upwards, with too little or too much little sleep associated with poorer cognitive performance and mental health, say researchers.

Up to half of older adults may have sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing and sleep are briefly interrupted many times a night. A new study shows that this chronic tiredness can have serious implications for road safety.

Black women are disproportionately affected by poor sleep, which is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, depression and worse quality of life. The gold standard treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which specifically targets the individual's problematic sleep behaviors and beliefs.

A new study has paved the way for the first drug treatment for sleep apnea. Compared to before receiving the treatment, breathing pauses decreased with on average more than 20 per hour for patients given the drug.
