Imagine that you are a cloud service engineer and you took out time to relax in a resort out of town where you wish to have a nice time to escape from work-related issues. A few hours into your relaxation, you receive a notification from your colleague about one of the resources you deployed that you need to scale up to accommodate an immediate need of one of your strategic clients as a result of their unexpected surge in business activities. How do you help yourself to handle such an impromptu request without major disruption to your time out and yet maintain the standard of efficiency that your job required? That is the reason why Azure Mobile App was created.
