  5. Server Logic Automatic service REST API generated for storage Dynamic Schema on/off Ability to author server logic that intercepts CRUD operation pipeline @chrisrisner

  6. Server Logic Supported Modules + Globals mssql request console push tables statusCodes mssql.query('select top 1 * from statusupdates', { success: function(results) { console.log(results); } } ); @chrisrisner

  7. REST API to SQL type mappings @chrisrisner

  8. Server Logicadding server logic on CRUD operations Demo
