Deployment limit in Azure Resource Group

For some time we have been using Visual Studio Team Services Release Manager for our continuous deployments to Azure. Today our Continuous Deployments to Azure Resource Manager came to a halt with the following error:

[error]DeploymentQuotaExceeded: Creating the deployment 'deployModule-0408-0956' would exceed the quota of '800'. The current deployment count is '800', please delete some deployments before creating a new one. Please see http://aka.ms/arm-deploy for usage details.

Unfortunately we had to find out what was going on, before we could do any new deployments. This was very time consuming, because there were only two google hits on the error. They where not very helpful in solving the error.

Managing SQL Server migrations

In two projects I recently made a tool for managing the version of the SQL Server database manually. When writing almost the same utility code twice, there would be a third time. So I created a NuGet package to manage the SQL Server version. On start up it checks the database version and then run any upgrade scripts if needed. It also ensures the scripts run only once.
