20.  Automatic service REST API generated for storage  Dynamic Schema on/off  Ability to author server logic that intercepts CRUD operation pipeline  Rich querying capability
21. • Supported Modules + Globals • mssql • request • console • push • tables • statusCodes • azure mssql.query('select top 1 * from statusupdates', { success: function(results) { console.log(results); } } );
