Their app frontend (40.79.47.136) seems to be hosted on Azure.
Looking at this
https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/17/how-microsoft-brought-sql-server-to-linux/
they barely got their "platform abstraction" thing working. I've seen the Platform
Abstraction Layer of .NET Core (the small, multiplatform .NET engine) and it's
a hack. Everything is bent to match 1990-era Win32 APIs.
Anyone to ask them directly? I think this should be explained quickly.
