App innovation in the AI era: cost benefits and challenges
summary
Shows migrating a decade‑old music store to Azure using Azure Migrate and Copilot to fix compatibility and connection strings, then extracting the checkout into Azure Functions (Flex consumption) to scale from zero to dozens of instances and reach ~4,000 requests/second. Demonstrates using Logic Apps to pull SQL data, chunk/tokenize, create embeddings and store them in a vector index for Azure OpenAI queries, and recommends services like Redis and SQL DB based on telemetry and a finding that ~1/3 of migrations are AI‑driven.
