This document will outline the concepts needed to connect to a "Secure" Azure SQL Server database, both from within Azure and outside of Azure. It also provides code snippets to demonstrate what is involved.

TLDR

Today's best practice is to access SQL databases with OAuth tokens. To connect to an Azure SQL DB, you get an OAuth token, then supply it when connecting to the SQL Database. Getting the OAuth token is different whether you're accessing it in Azure or outside Azure.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Programming Problem - Parse File

• Either read the "File Contents" from a file or place the text into a multi-line block
• Parse the contents
• Aggregate the time (last field)
• Report of total calls
• Report any error cases (non-200)
  • Bonus points: report what line number the error occured on

jq can filter keys with dashes (-), but that requires special syntax: [\"field-name\"]

Input:

echo '{"the-long-field-name":"true"}' | jq ". | select(.[\"the-long-field-name\"] != null)"
