With a few steps, we can set up Azure App Insights to monitor a health endpoint on an application and notify us when the application is in a bad state.
Automated deployments take some of the stress out of deploying new changes to production. It only takes a few steps to setup blue/green deployments for Azure App Services from a remote build server.

Some of these API endpoints are designed to be publically accessible, while others are internal API endpoints or specifically designed for a front-end application to access. I want to easily include the public endpoints in my API docs without publishing details on the internal ones.

In this one, we’ll be extending the system to also allow users to register and login via a third party provider (Twitter).
In this post I’ll also start exploring User Authentications as a separate document collection, rather than as additional fields on my User document. I’ve noticed in several past systems I’ve built API keys and authentication mechanisms as properties on ...
