Announcing Data API Builder (Preview) for Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server
Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server is a powerful cloud service that provides developers with a fully managed MySQL database, designed to enable them to quickly build and deploy applications. Today, we’re excited to announce the public preview of Data API Builder (Preview) for Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server.
What is Data API Builder?
Data API Builder is a serverless, low-code solution that simplifies the development of applications that use Azure Database for MySQL. It enables developers to quickly build and deploy APIs to access their data in Azure Database for MySQL. It is powered by the Azure Functions runtime, so developers don’t need to worry about managing and scaling their API server.
What are the Benefits of Data API Builder?
The primary benefit of Data API Builder is its low-code approach to creating APIs. With Data API Builder, developers don’t need to learn a new language or framework to build their APIs; they can simply configure the APIs and deploy them in minutes. Additionally, it leverages the power of serverless computing to provide developers with an easy-to-manage and cost-effective way of building and deploying their APIs.
How Can I Get Started?
Getting started with Data API Builder is easy. All you need to do is install the Data API Builder extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace, configure your APIs, and deploy them to Azure. The Data API Builder extension provides an intuitive user interface for configuring and deploying APIs. Additionally, it supports features such as data validation, authentication, and authorization, which help you secure your APIs.
What’s Next?
We are actively developing Data API Builder and are excited to see how developers use it to improve their applications. We plan to add new features to Data API Builder in the near future, such as support for schema migration and the ability to generate client libraries for popular platforms. Additionally, we are planning to extend our support for the Azure Functions runtime to include more languages and frameworks.
Conclusion
Data API Builder is a great solution for developers looking to quickly build and deploy APIs to access their data in Azure Database for MySQL. It provides an intuitive user interface for configuring and deploying APIs, and leverages the power of serverless computing to make it easy to manage and cost-effective. We’re excited to see how developers use Data API Builder to create powerful applications.
