Building and running a service for a truly global audience has always been the ultimate challenge for any business and for any application developer. In this session, we will discuss global perspectives on running your application tier in a scalable way – WebApps/APIs, Traffic Manager and Serverless. We will discuss the new Cosmos DB service offering in Azure and it’s built in global sync with little more than a press of a button on your end – data was always the final frontier of globalization of your app. We will look at what it takes to monitor this kind of an environment. Naturally this is a very big set of topics which means this session is aimed to give an overview, spark a discussion and provide some directional and inspirational input.
