salesforce to azure db

Hello All,
I need to be able to update an Azure database from Salesforce.  Mainly for Cases and Lawyers, when cases or lawyers get updated I need to update the Azure DB as well.
I have seen the examples that talk about Azure to Salesforce, but I have not seen anything talking about Salesforce to Azure.
I have looked at both the Salesforce WCF and RestAPI https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/
But again these go from Azure to Salesforce.

Is it possible to go the other way?  What would be the best approch to this as I have seen many differnt approches to connecting.
We don't want any syncing of data, just to make a .NET call when Salesforce records get updates ect.. to update our Azure DB.
Thanks,
K.

Sorry, but I have seen these already, we do not want to pay for a 3 party app so Skyvia is out of the question as is apirise.
The Azure data-factory is more of a syncing tool that runs in a timly interval, I am needing a .NET WCF or Rest solution that when Salesforce information is updated, deleted, inserted ect.. It will do the same to our Azure DB, more realtime, from a Salesforce trigger or something.
All the posible solutions I have found go from Azure DB to Salesforce, but not Saleforce to Azure DB.

Has anyone done this?  What is the best option?  Are there any web sites that have examples of this?  Is there a better way without paying for 3rd party products.

Hi Keith

Did you find a solution? I'm doing something very similar but I need to sync both ways i.e azure db to SF and SF to azure.

What did you use for syncing from azure db to SF?

Thanks
Nick

Unknown to my knowledge we have an Enterprise edtion of a tool called CData, this is what I used. Then we just setup a job to run every 5 minutes.
