Application Insights is a Business Tool

Applications Insights is an extensible analytics service that monitors live applications. It helps us detect and diagnose performance issues, and understand what users actually do with our applications. This is especially useful when we maintain applications, because it allows us to identify applications that have active users. And more specifically, we have a means to identify applications that have been abandoned.

Getting to Know Azure Mobile App Cont.

Microsoft Azure Mobile App has recently gone GA (General Availability) and has definitely captured my attention. Mobile App is a tremendous accelerator that enables us to go from an idea to a functional prototype quickly.
