scale an App Service to host a web app or API. You'll learn how to store your data, from table storage and
blob storage over queue storage to storage in an Azure SQL database, including which storage option best fits
a specific scenario. Lastly, you'll learn how to investigate potential issues in your codebase by learning how
to configure remote debugging and a variety of logging options, including integrating your codebase with Application
Insights, querying logs, creating alerts and inspecting telemetry data.
