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.
I have a set of APIs that I'm publishing with an application. 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.

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 ...
