Building scalable applications doesn't mean you need to have millions of users. Maybe you have a hundred users all year around, except for these few busy days. Christopher built an application that does just that: ProxyVote scales down to zero (users and cost), and up to million transactions with a total cost lower than a large hot chocolate.

His secret recipe: serverless! From static web app to No-ETL serverless analytics, join this ""behind the code"" tour. We'll start by an API that powers a static website - made in Blazor - and a mobile app - built with .NET MAUI -, then follow the data path to Cosmos DB how it's used to scale this app. Where we have data, we have analytics needs. Our final stop will be with Synapse and how it's used to power dashboards and near real-time analytics needs.
