Strapi is an open-source content management system that operates independently of the client-side and offers extensive customization capabilities. It is especially developer-friendly thanks to its adaptable structure and straightforward deployment process. Azure App Service is a managed cloud platform designed for developing, hosting, and scaling web applications. Combining Strapi with this platform allows for seamless content management integrated with Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

This solution uses key Azure components:

• Azure App Service – a PaaS solution optimized for running Node.js applications, including Strapi.
• Azure Database for MySQL – a managed database offering high availability, automatic maintenance, and scalability.
• Azure Database for PostgreSQL – another fully managed database, focused on PostgreSQL, with similar functionality.
• Azure Communication Services for Email – a service for integrating email sending and receiving into your applications.
• Azure Virtual Network (VNET) – a solution for creating a secure environment for interaction between cloud resources and on-premises systems.
• Azure Blob Storage – a service for storing large volumes of unstructured data, such as multimedia or binary files.
• Azure Managed Identity – a tool for automatically generating a managed identity to authenticate resources without manual credential handling.

This solution is suitable for both small web development projects and complex systems requiring scalability. Typical use cases include mobile applications, corporate websites, eCommerce platforms, editorial systems, backend configurations, and support for static site generators.

With extensive configuration options, global Azure data center availability, and seamless integration with platform services, deploying Strapi on App Service significantly streamlines cloud infrastructure management. You get stable performance, a high level of security, and excellent productivity,

Using Strapi within Azure App Service offers a range of benefits:

1. Full control over parameters: flexibility in choosing configuration, database, and security systems. Strapi can be connected with Azure Defender, Application Insights, and Front Door to boost both reliability and performance.
2. Global presence: you can select a deployment region based on your business’s geographic needs or data retention requirements.
3. Preconfigured templates: pre-optimized configuration settings allow you to quickly achieve the desired level of security and performance.
4. Reliability and uninterrupted operation: the ability to deploy with resource redundancy across multiple availability zones minimizes downtime risk.
5. Security and compliance: use of SSL, DDoS protection, WAF, virtual networks, managed identities, Key Vault, Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Azure adheres to SOC, ISO standards, and various other compliance requirements. Using dedicated resources instead of shared ones significantly enhances both security and performance.
6. Flexible scaling: automatic or manual traffic-based scaling, load optimization via Front Door, Blob Storage for storing static content, and the ability to conduct load testing.

Enterprise-grade functionality: the ability to create backups, staging environments for safe testing, CI/CD processes, and advanced monitoring and logging capabilities.
