Why Azure Mobile App?

Extremely powerfulYou can do almost anything your backend would ever need to do with Azure. Data storage, authentication/authorization, push notifications, custom APIs, blob storage, etc.FlexibleNeed something lightweight? Azure is there.Need something robust and powerful? Azure is there.C# clientsIm a frontend developer, I care a lot about how easy this makes MY job (selfish)Many C# clients are written by Java developers, etc.Easy to use C# clientAbstracts away much of pain of using a RESTful APIC# FeaturesAsync / Await / TPLUses C# idiomsProperties, Fluent APISeems obvious, but not always true (first class citizen)
