About this episode
Davide Mauri joins Scott Hanselman to discuss a recently announced feature of Azure SQL DB that makes integration with REST APIs incredibly easy. A new system function enables Azure SQL DB to call any HTTP REST API securely: call an Azure Function, send a message to Event Hub, execute a DAX query in Power BI, enrich data with Cognitive Services, etc. Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 02:15 - Background discussion 06:21 - Demo 1: Calling an Azure Function 10:02 - Demo 2: Query a GraphQL service 12:05 - Demo 3: Update a page in real time with SignalR 15:05 - Demo 4: Power BI executeQueries 17:20 - Demo 5: Event Hub 19:05 - Wrap-up 19:41 - Bonus demo: Cognitive Services Recommended resources sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint (Transact-SQL) (Preview) Azure-Samples/azure-sql-db-invoke-external-rest-endpoints Azure SQL Database Create a Pay-as-You-Go account (Azure) Create a free account (Azure) Connect Scott Hanselman | Twitter: @SHanselman Davide Mauri | Twitter: @MauriDB Azure SQL | Twitter: @AzureSQL Azure Friday | Twitter: @AzureFriday Azure | Twitter: @Azure
