title: Azure Mobile App with service layer
body: <p>In MVC web applications we tend to use architectures with multiple layers.
  I like to use a service layer which encapsulates the business logic and has the data access layer etc. below.</p>
  
  <p>The service layer, can be used by multiple frontends. </p>
  
  <p>Since azure mobile apps are using <code>TableController</code> which provide CRUD opertions on database tables or DTOs, there is no way to use the service layer.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Are there any approaches on how to use azure mobile apps in large business applications with multi layer architectures?</strong></p>
