NoSQL key-value store for structured data (Azure Storage Tables or Cosmos DB Table API). 🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below: 1. Prefer DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation. - Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential works as-is. - Production: set AZURETOKENCREDENTIALS=prod (or AZURETOKENCREDENTIALS= ) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials. 2. Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically: - Sync: with (...) as client: - Async: async with (...) as client: and async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential: (from azure.identity.aio) Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules. | Client | Purpose | |--------|---------| | TableServiceClient | Create/delete tables, list tables | | TableClient | Entity CRUD, queries | Important: Every entity requires PartitionKey and RowKey (together form unique ID). | Python Type | Table Storage Type | |------------
