Serverless architecture shifts application hosting functions away from local servers onto those managed by providers. This means you no longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run your applications, databases, and storage systems. Serverless architecture: A primer. Why use a serverless architecture?

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss.

One initial, easy step to moving your SQL Server on-premises workloads to the cloud is using Azure VMs to run your SQL Server workloads in an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) scenario. You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario.

This allows the app to query a list of “paths” in each HTTP request, and get specially formatted JSON (jsonGraph) that we use to cache the data and hydrate the UI.

The problem is that this system has a default libc that has been compiled without frame pointers, so any stack walking stops at the libc layer, producing a partial stack that's missing the application frames.
