From Code to Published in Minutes with Azure Static Web Apps

Join us for this event in-person or virtual (link below)!

Abstract
Today’s web apps fall into a few common patterns: monoliths, microservices, and static frontend with an API backend. If your app belongs to the latter category (or maybe doesn’t even have a backend), publishing your app should be simple and require no knowledge of infrastructure. The Azure Static Web Apps service enables just that. In this talk, you’ll be introduced to Azure Static Web Apps (SWA), you’ll learn about an application that might be considered a typical good candidate for SWA, and you’ll see how the application is deployed in minutes. The application includes authentication and authorization, multiple environments for reviewing new PRs, and a custom domain name. By the end of the session, you’ll know how to evaluate your application’s fit for SWA and how to get started with your first deployment.
