Creating Your First Mobile Backend using App Center Data
summary
Live demo builds a mobile backend on App Center Data backed by Cosmos DB, creating the database in the portal and wiring a Xamarin .NET app with one line of code to list documents. Data is JSON documents with public vs user partition keys, global replication and manual/multi-master failover via Azure, and a claimed 10 ms reads/writes SLA. SDK caches writes locally for an offline-first caching experience and uses Azure AD B2C for authentication (Auth setup done in portal).
