This is the first of a series of posts where I talk about what I learned building a startup using Microsoft Technologies of which I primarily focus on Windows Azure. Before I get started, I think it is important that you know that I am a Microsoft employee, and more specifically I work in the SQL Azure group as a Program Manager. The startup I built was done outside of my work at Microsoft. Throughout this series of posts I will do my best to take my Microsoft hat off and tell both the good parts and the bad parts I experienced using Azure. I’ll also talk about times that I chose to move outside of Azure and ultimately use a “hybrid” of cloud services. If you are considering Azure for your business, I hope this series will help you learn some new tricks and also avoid some of the issues I had growing my startup.
