One of the options to scale Azure SQL Databases is by DTU, database transaction unit (to get an overview and comparison of the purchasing models, check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-purchase-models). But how do you know, how many of those DTUs you need for your on-prem workload? A very helpful tool for that is Azure SQL DTU Calculator, oftentimes…
A couple of features and concepts in Business Central and AL are clearly inspired by Microsoft now being a hoster and providing a SaaS solution. That in itself makes more then sense and as I have written a couple of times now, from my point of view all decisions made and directions taken are quite…
I had the chance to present some practical examples and scenarios around running NAV und Docker together with Jakub Vanak on a NAV-Skills Webinar (thanks a lot to Mark Brummel and Liberty Grove, especially Joe Mathis and Rick Williams). You can find the recording here and the presentation here. Also keep an eye on Jakub's…
When Freddy Kristiansen, Jakub Vanak and I talked about NAV on Docker at NAV TechDays, the first two questions from the audience were "can I connect NAV on Docker to an existing SQL database?" But in a short answer we could only say "yes, absolutely" but not really explain it. (mehr …)
One of the very few things I really like in C/SIDE and kind of miss in the new NAV Dev Env is the ability to just run an object with Alt+R. In the new NAV Dev Env a.k.a. VS Code this isn’t possible but instead you can enter one object (page or pageextension) in the…

For quite some time now Containers and especially Docker are gaining traction. If you haven’t heard about them, there are a lot of good resources on the internet to help you get started but the idea is to take virtualization one step further. We moved from physical machines to virtual machines to allow more density…

While Microsoft can’t state more explicitly and loudly that they have an and strategy (meaning Dynamics 365 and Dynamics NAV on-prem) there are still rumors and concerns about the future of NAV on-prem. From my personal point of view I don’t see at all why Microsoft would risk their huge customer base of approx. 100.000…
