All of the tools of this new package are not new. although Microsoft built App Service on top of existing tools
like Azure Websites, Mobile app Services and Biztalk Services. Microsoft will migrate all existing Azure Websites users to the new package (for the same price).
Azure
Mobile Services users will also migrate to the new service, but at a
slower place because the move actually breaks a few existing API
services (though Microsoft notes that it’ll be very easy for developers
to make the necessary changes to port their applications over to the new
service). For now, Azure Mobile Services and the mobile component of
App Services will be available side-by-side, but over time. It’s unclear
for how long Microsoft will support both services, though.
Microsoft director of the Azure Application Platform Omar Khan told :
“We believe that unifying this experience makes app development
much simpler,”
The interesting things of the two new services is probably the one for
building what Microsoft calls “logic apps,” that is, applications that
automate business processes across different hosted and on-premise APIs
and services like Office 365, Salesforce.com, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter
and databases from Oracle and SAP. Developers can combine these data
sources using a visual drag-and-drop builder and then use the results in
their own web and mobile applications.
Microsoft is targeting both developers who are
looking to build line of business apps for enterprise clients and
partners, as well as those who are building consumer-facing
applications.
