Why you should start considering Azure Batch for some of your Dynamics 365 Business Central cloud workloads

Writing on the Stefano Demiliani’s NAV Blog, Demiliani noted that at the Dynamics 365 Business Central 2021 Wave 1 Launch event, Dmitry Chadayev described the improvements that Microsoft has made on the tenant’s database export feature.

These improvements involved the underlying technology for having a more reliable and performant way of exporting the tenant database when this database grows in size during time.

Demiliani pointed out that previously, the database export was handled by using the standard database export feature from Azure SQL. However now there’s new service that uses Azure Batch to handle the export of these databases more reliably.

In his blog post, Demiliani explained in detail how to use Azure Batch for some of your Dynamics 365 Business Central cloud workloads.

On his Waldo.be blog, Waldo, aka Eric Wauters, stated that his company recently enabled support for the new “item references” in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
