Cloud-First Apps: Running systems on a couple of dollars a month

VMs, firewalls, vendors, and databases are expensive. By embracing the cloud, you can use services that embrace microbilling and only charge you for what you truly use.

So ditch your VMs, your SQL servers, and come learn how to create systems on Azure that cost less than a cup of coffee a month.

We'll cover:

• Hosting single-page apps cheaply
• Creating performant serverless backends
• Cheap and performant database alternatives
• Containers for the odd jobs
