Azure Website Performance - MVC Application Azure Websites

I am hoping to get some advice as to how i can figure out what is going on with some performance issues i am suffering from. I have a custom MVC application which is running on Azure Websites in West Europe datacenter. I have one of our offices trying to connect to the website from Singapore which is where the problem lies. If i connect to the website myself (from UK) the performance is fast and zippy. If our Singapore office tries to connect the performance is terribly slow. Sometimes getting to the initial homepage is slow (i.e. no database connections required for login page).
The page will sometimes just sit and "hang" there. What i want to know is how can i debug the performance issues with Azure? What kind of monitoring or performance checks can i do to see if it is a website / sql issue.
Thanks
I would suggest using Application Insights. It's easy to add to a custom MVC app, and will give you good info to help determine where exactly the issue lies.

The Azure New Relic add in from the market place is very useful. There is a free version which gives you plenty of detail on browser performance and basic sql profiling.
It can provide such details as shown in the screen shot below.
You can use the Support Site Extension (http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/12/01/new-updates-to-support-site-extension-for-azure-websites/) which would allow you to look at live event logs and HTTP traffic. There are also some more advanced tools for performance issues (i.e. memory dump, event viewer logs). For a deeper dive into debugging in Azure App Service see: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK4704.
Also as Ben said, Application Insights (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-detect-triage-diagnose/) may help.

Does a Talend connector to Google Contacts exists?

I have a pretty simple question (for once :D) :
Do you know if a talendconnector to google-contacts exists ?
I can't find one into http://www.talendforge.org/components/, neither on the 4 first pages of Google itself.
As a fallback, do you think it would be possible to wrap a Talend component around google-contacts ... I guess yes, and so I would be surprised that no one had already developped it !
I've not seen a Google Contacts connector in Talend but there's a problem in the fact that to access the API you will need to auth via OAuth2. There's currently nothing standard in Talend to help with this (although it would be pretty useful) but Gabriele Baldassarre who semi regularly answers questions under the Talend tag has built a series of components to access Twitter data which has a similar OAuth requirement.
His website might be a useful reference to building this should you want to do so.
Edit
As of 5.4 Talend's RESTful components such as tRestClient now support OAuth2 so it is possible to provide OAuth2 tokens in your RESTful connection to help you connect to web services secure by OAuth2. There's not (as of yet) a Google Contacts connector available but you could replicate it now.

Development resources for IBM WCM/WebSphere

I recently started a new position at a company that uses IBM's WebSphere Portal, and it is completely new to me. I was wondering if there was a good resource anyone knew for development techniques using said platform.
Basically what I've been asked to do is create a dynamic newsletter page to speed up the publishing time for a new set of newsletters/articles. I have no idea how to generate dynamic content with WebSphere so that when a new article is published, it updates a landing page with a link to the new article.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!
There's a lot of information on the various IBM sites (disclaimer I work for IBM, but not with Portal). This article seems to be relevant.

What's a good screencast for an introduction to dimensional models and SQL Server Analysis Services?

My team is getting ready to start using SQL Server Analysis Services on our project but none of us have a lot of experience with it. What's a good screencast we can watch to get us started?
You can start here:
