Python is the language for Data Scientists and Machine Learning (just coming to my mind as examples: Pandas and PyTorch) and is also extremely powerful to create back-end API (eg: Flask or Django) or data processing pipelines (PySpark or Apache Airflow).

Then you have Azure SQL which is a great post-relational multi-model modern database with many features to cover the majority of uses cases - from very simplex to extremely demanding - with also extremely high scalability and impressive performance capabilities.

Sooner or later you’ll need a database in your solution. Here’s a series of videos to learn how to master Azure SQL from A to Z:
