Technical details

• For hosting web APIs and web pages, Azure App Services are used. The server-less product can scale up or down automatically.
• Website data is stored in relational database Azure SQL database (with elastic pool).
• User uploaded files like images are stored in Azure Blob Storage. Another layer of API is implemented in the application to control access.
• Events information are stored in Event Hubs that can be processed by Azure Functions or other services.
• Azure Data Factory can be used to ingest data into storage like Azure Blob Storage or SQL Data Warehouse or any other suitable storage.
