Hype as it is, a valid business case currently is the most critical point for a Blockchain project. So better check this with a PoC and best with a fast PoC before you start burning money.
But getting even a simple PoC for a Blockchain project running, still is hard. Connecting Blockchain data to classical databases, making them available to analytics or standard applications is worse (ever queried LevelDB?).
Microsofts new „Azure Blockchain Workbench“ let you do this in hours, not months.
So (besides wondering why one needs this hype stuff at all) we will see how to
– Deploy a Blockchain on Azure in a breeze
– Generate templates for smart contracts
– Connect them to IoT devices
– Interact with the contracts via a simple UI
– Get all the data into a „real“ database automatically

Per Definition muss SQL Server alle Daten und Schemaänderungen synchron im Transaktionslog protokollieren, um die Dauerhaftigkeit zu gewährleisten, was sich durchaus negativ auf die Performance auswirken kann. In dieser Session (Level 300) erfahrt ihr, wie die Leistung des Transaktionsprotokolls mithilfe von minimal logged Operations und Delay Durability verbessert werden kann.

Zudem beschäftigen wir uns mit folgenden Themen:

• virtual log files
• WAL write ahead logging
• checkpoint
• recovery models
• recovery internals
