Patterns

General Things to consider
• Design everything to be Stateless (if possible)
• use PaaS over IaaS
• use Async
• Automate everything
• Right tool for the job
• SQL
• TableStorage
• BlobStorage
• NoSQL (DocumentDB, MongoDB, Cassandra)

Data Storage Options

Data partion strategies
Vertical Partitioning

Data partion strategies
Horizontal Partitioning
Azure TableStorage does this automatically based on the PartionKey

Data partion strategies
Hybrid Partitioning

Dev Ops
• Continous Integration & Deployment
• Works on my machine!
• Monitoring
• Telemetry (User behavior and usage)
• VisualStudio Online is free for up to 5 users, automatic
deployment from SourceControl to Azure

Design for failure
• Everything can fail at any time
• Transient Faults (self healing)
• Network issues
• Timeouts
• Use Traffic Manager route traffic to differnt data centers
• Use AutoScale to handle peak times

Transient Fault Handling
•Entity Framework supports Retry Policy since 6.0
•Azure SDKs include Retry Policies
•Create custom HttpHandler for calling external
services
public class MyConfiguration : DbConfiguration
{
public MyConfiguration()
{
SetExecutionStrategy(
"System.Data.SqlClient",
() => new SqlAzureExecutionStrategy(1, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)));
}
}
IRetryPolicy linearRetryPolicy = new LinearRetry(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2), 10);
blobClient.RetryPolicy = linearRetryPolicy;

HttpClient Handler
protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync( HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken
cancellationToken) {
HttpResponseMessage response = null;
for (int i = 0; i < _maxRetries; i++)
{
response = await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return response;
}
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
{
var token = await _connector.GetRefreshToken();
request.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token.accessToken);
}
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
{
return response; //No neet to retry 404
}
if (response.StatusCode == (HttpStatusCode) 429)
{
//Too many requests, back off
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
}
return response;
}

VAR CLIENT = NEW HTTPCLIENT(NEW RETRYWITHAUTHHANDLER<EXACTCONNECTOR>(NEW HTTPCLIENTHANDLER(), 3, THIS));

Queue centric work pattern
• Decouple tiers
• Allows to scale efficiently
• Handle unexpected peak loads
• Works great with AutoScale
• Use for all non interactive scenarios
• Examples:
• Send Emails
• Create Thumbnails of uploaded pictures
• Write results to storage

Microservices
• Each MicroService is part of an application (no SOA)
• Autonom
• Fast development and integration
• Allows for experiments
• Best language for the job

SingleSignOn (SSO)
• Azure Active Directory
• Support SAML, WS-Fed and
Oauth
• Link to On Premise
Directory
• Connect with ADFS On
