Mobile Clients Why?
Business logic,
Validation,
Imagine a mobile client
Security,… that needs storage
No direct access to SQL

Service
I don‘t want to run
Credentials for Table Storage?
Validation, security – where?
and maintain this

Mobile Clients Mobile Clients Mobile Clients Mobile Clients Multi Tenancy
App 1 App 2 App 3 App 4
Deploy one multi-tenant
service that everyone
can use
Logic Logic Service Logic Logic
Let people upload there
logic as scripts

Data Store TypeScript)
(No)SQL Node.js
Problem: Sandboxing
Multi-Tenant Pre-Built Service needed
