Microsoft Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform that allows developers to build, deploy, and manage scalable and reliable applications. Here's how it works with SQL:
*Service Fabric Architecture:*
Service Fabric is designed as a microservices architecture, where applications are broken down into smaller, independent services that communicate with each other.
*SQL Integration:*
Service Fabric provides several ways to integrate with SQL:
1. *Reliable Collections:* Service Fabric offers a built-in key-value store called Reliable Collections, which allows developers to store and retrieve data in a reliable and scalable manner. Reliable Collections can be used as a caching layer for SQL data.
2. *SQL Service Fabric Provider:* This provider allows developers to use SQL databases as a state provider for Service Fabric services. This enables developers to store and retrieve data from SQL databases using Service Fabric's programming model.
3. *Azure SQL Database:* Service Fabric can be integrated with Azure SQL Database, which provides a fully managed relational database service. Developers can use Azure SQL Database as a backend database for their Service Fabric Application
