The 'ACE' Concepts

Hello World on SSDS

demo

SSDS Data Browser

Code Sample: REST POSTShown as part of demo

private static void CreateEntity(string containerUri, string entityPayload){ try { // Create the request to send. WebRequest request = CreateRequest(

containerUri, HttpMethods.POST, entityPayload, "application/xml", UserName, Password);

// Get the response and read it in to a string. using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) { if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.Created) … } } catch (WebException ex) { …

Concepts: Entity

Flexible Entity ModelNo schema required

Property bag of name / value pairs

Smallest Unit of Storage (unit of update)

Metadata propertiesID – unique within parent containerKind – track user type ex: JobListing, Resume, etcVersion – update timestamp on each operation

Flex propertiesCan change instance type or add additional propertiesSupport for simple types: decimal, string, bool, etcAll properties are indexed

Concepts: Entity (Example)Entity properties may differ in type and

Concepts: ContainerStores Flexible EntitiesUnit of consistencyWidest domain of a single search and operationUnique name within parent container

Concepts: Authority

Webservice API

Consumed using SOAP or RESTEndpoint secured by SSLEach authority has single ownerSecured using single owner credentials

Operations forAuthority provisioning

Create, Update, Delete

Container provisioning and queryEntity storage, update, delete and queryQuery uses simple LINQ-like syntax

Web Service API (REST)Exposes URI for each resource

Service: https://data.sitka.microsoft.com/v1CreateAuthority (POST)

Authority: https://auth.data.sitka.microsoft.com/v1FetchAuthority (GET)QueryContainers (GET) with query “from e in … where …”CreateContainer (POST)

Container: https://auth.data.sitka.microsoft.com/v1/containerId FetchContainer (GET) QueryEntities (GET) with query “from e in … where …” UpdateContainer (PUT)DeleteContainer (DELETE)CreateEntity (POST)

Entity: https://auth.data.sitka.microsoft.com/v1/containerId/entityId FetchEntity (GET)UpdateEntity (PUT) DeleteEntity (DELETE)

Services Taxonomy

Attached Service

Finished Service

Building Block Service

•Used primarily by end users• Can be used by developers to build other services• Examples: Search, Hotmail, CRM Live

• Adds value when used in conjunction with on-premises software• Used primarily by end-users• Examples: Exchange Hosted Services, Windows Update

• Foundation pieces for other services• Used by developers to build Finished, Attached or other Building Block Services• Examples: LiveID, SSDS, etc.

Query Language

Textual query language through web-service headLanguage patterned after C# LINQ syntax

from e in container where e.Kind == "CarForSale" &&

e[“Zip"] == 98053 && e["Model"] == "Mini Cooper" select e

Operator semantics handles dynamic instance typinge[“Zip”] could be number in one entity and string in another

Query supported over metadata and data propertiesLimited to simple filters using comparison operations

Web Service API (SOAP)

Endpoint exposed for service: https://data.sitka.microsoft.com/soap/v1 Authority

Authority Get(AuthorityId)IEnumerable<Container> Query(AuthorityId, query)Create(ContainerId, Container)

ContainerContainer Get(ContainerId)IEnumerable<Entity> Query(ContainerId, query) Container Update(ContainerId, Container)Delete(ContainerId)Create(EntityId, Entity)

EntityEntity Get(EntityId)Entity Update(EntityId, Entity)Delete(EntityId)

Web Service API (REST)

Exposes URI for each resourceAuthority: https://auth.data.sitka.microsoft.com/v1

GetAuthorityMetadata (GET)QueryContainers (GET) with query payload “http://a/v1/c?q={…}”CreateContainer (POST)
