AzureFunBytes – Azure Static Web Apps with Anthony Chu!

Jay Gordon

AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It’s a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11 AM Pacific on Microsoft LearnTV and learn more about Azure.

This week I welcomed Anthony Chu, Program Manager at Microsoft, to discuss Azure Static Web Apps and Azure Functions. Anthony and I have a conversation on why this service makes sense for your web apps. We discussed how the Azure Static Web App Service enables collaboration with your development team by utilizing triggered CI/CD runs from GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps Pipelines. There’s support right out of the box for static site generators like Gatsby, Hugo, VuePress, and more.
