| 10 Reasons why Azure SQL is the best Database for Developers by Davide Mauri | To steal a quote from Python that perfectly applies here, Azure SQL is batteries included. Its got everything you need. Lots of things have changed from when SQL Server was released to the market decades ago, and even more from when Azure SQL was made available in the cloud. In this session we'll see what Azure SQL offers to the modern developer and how each of the following features can help in reducing application complexity and increasing development efficiency. Along with relational features, an amazing number of post-relational features like JSON and Graph support, columnar storage and in-memory lock-free structures are available to developers to leave to the database the burden to efficiently manipulate and crunch data, so that they can focus on design architectures, implementing the business logic in the most clean and elegant way possible. Having all such features all available for one scalable database is unique in the market. Come learn how to take advantage of everything Azure SQL can offer to a developer | Watch Now |

| SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters: Make SQL Server your Data Hub for everything by Ben Weissman | In the realm of data storage and processing, there are two major technologies which we deal with every day. On one side, we have relational data that is stored inside SQL Server, and on the other side, non-relational or very large datasets that do not fit the relational model which are stored on big data clusters like Hadoop or Spark. This introduces challenges when having to combine datasets across both these technologies. SQL Server was never built to process huge datasets in a distributed fashion or to handle non-relational data very well, meaning that in many cases you would have to resort to bringing your relational data into Hadoop or Spark clusters. SQL Server 2019 has the answer with Big Data Clusters: it combines SQL Server with HDFS and Spark! In this session we are going to explore the capabilities of the exciting new feature. How does it work and how can we work with datasets that are non-relational? | Watch Now |
