NUEDIGITAL Community Hub | Enterprise-Ready Data Apps and CI/CD

Join us for a special event as part of the Nürnberg Digital Festival!

Our main talk will give a hands-on overview on how to build a complete web app template, dev environment, and deployment pipeline in an actual enterprise-level Azure cloud.

You’re welcome from 17:30, the main program starts at 18:00.

Agenda:
18:00 - Dr. Johannes Schöck: Template-based web app and deployment pipeline at an enterprise-ready level on Azure
19:00 - Lightning Talks: Bring your own pitch or talk!

As always, stay for networking and discussions afterwards!

This time, we are again over at our friends at Codecentric.

Talk: Template-based web app and deployment pipeline at an enterprise-ready level on Azure

In many enterprise environments, deploying a proof-of-concept data app to the cloud remains frustratingly slow and manual. Early user feedback often depends on clunky screen shares or static screenshots. This talk shows how we transformed that process - automating everything from infrastructure provisioning to web app deployment - using a system of pipeline, bicep, and python templates. The result? Stakeholders can interact with a working Streamlit app within minutes of a commit, with no further manual setup required.

We take you with us on our journey from awkward beginnings to an elegant template-based setup, where all steps of the configuration and deployment process are automated. All Azure resources are created without manual steps. And it takes only one bio-break from submitting your work to the repository to the business user being able to test it live. Along the way we share best practices and pitfalls we discovered, as well as how we structure our templates and repositories, both for the web app, as well as the deployment pipeline. At the end, we will deploy a new web app together and explore the workings of the system live.

While the concept will need adoption to other providers, you don't need to use Azure to profit from this talk - all cloud platforms share similar tools and challenges.
