Hi,

I'm making a website that shows information about technical analyses. There is a lot of data involved which I like to save in json files instead of using a database.
This is because the data is always used in bulk and never in specific table-rows.

Is there a way of saving a lot of json files on Azure and than access it through some api of sorts?

The website would then acces the json files through the api and show the results on the website.

It is also important that the json files cannot be accessed by anyone without a password ofcourse.

With kind regards,

    Hi, @Ingmar Crone

    Listening to your scenario (accessing many JSON files with API), I came up with the idea of using Cosmos DB.
    If you haven't considered it yet, consider adding authentication to Web API and storing backend data in Cosmos DB.

    https://azure.microsoft.com/ja-jp/services/cosmos-db/#overview

    There are other options.
    You can also store the JSON file in Azure Storage and access it via API.

    If you can't achieve the scenario with Cosmos DB, you probably have more requirements. Please tell them.
