Databases: On-premise to the Cloud

Session Abstract: These days, everything from A to Z is accelerated towards the cloud. So are traditional databases. Database as a service (DBaaS) is offered via a variety of relational and NoSQL databases. Their applications, however are among the hot topics in the tech world. When you migrate a traditional database to the cloud, would you choose relational or NoSQL? Join this session as Dilini and Hansamali explore how a single data set can be perceived from both Relational (Azure SQL Database) and NoSQL (Azure Cosmos DB) viewpoints and see the considerations and processes for choosing the database type, migrating and implementing a database on Azure.
