How Microsoft's new, open-source Data API builder fits into Solution Architecture
2025TL; DR
Learn how a Data API can positively impact your database performance, your security profile, and your source code.
Session Details
Software Architects choose tools and patterns with an eye toward cost, time, shelf-life, and standard features. Data API builder is not source generation — it's Microsoft's free Data API engine that exposes secure REST & GraphQL endpoints over SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL, and Azure Cosmos DB, whether in Azure, on-premises, or even in AWS or GCP. In this session, we'll discuss security & architecture options, and when to use GraphQL versus REST endpoints.
3 things you'll get out of this session
Teach developers about Data API builder. It is a very important part of the SQL developer strategy. It is open-source, free, and runs on-prem or in any cloud.
