How to create a REST API using Azure SQL, Dapper, .NET and JSON and live forever happily after. In this session we’ll start from a blank project and we’ll implement a fully working REST API, learning how to leverage the native support in JSON to easily and efficiently having .NET and Azure SQL working together with minimal effort but great performances. We’ll also see how to use Dapper to reduce the amount of code we need to write, all with a fully functioning CI/CD pipeline created using GitHub Actions.
