SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deploying a migrated ASP.NET MVC to Node.js + React application to Azure involves many decisions across hosting, databases, gateways, identity, and observability. This Skill provides a fixed reference topology, ready-to-use Bicep modules, Dockerfiles, and deployment recipes so teams can provision production infrastructure without designing everything from scratch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hosting decision matrix: Choose between Azure Static Web Apps, Container Apps, and App Service for the Vite SPA and Node.js API, with trade-offs documented for each path. - Bicep template set: Subscription-scoped main.bicep with modules for monitoring, Key Vault, PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, Blob Storage, Container Apps, Functions, Static Web Apps, and API Management. - Three deployment paths: All Container Apps, SWA + Container Apps API, or App Service PaaS, each with copy-paste CLI recipes and azd azure.yaml configuration. - Security and observability guidance: Managed identity, Key Vault secret references, APIM JWT validation policies, CSP headers, Application Insights setup, and alert thresholds. - Use Case: After migrating an ASP.NET MVC app to Node.js + React, ask the assistant to generate the Azure deployment assets; it copies the Dockerfile templates, parameterizes main.bicep, and walks you through az deployment sub what-if validation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate Azure deployment assets for the migrated Node.js API and React web app using the Bicep templates and a production parameter file.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-fullstack-deployment

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Node.js API and React SPA to Azure?▼

Use the provided Bicep template set with main.bicep at subscription scope. Choose a hosting path: Static Web Apps for the SPA with Container Apps for the API, or all Container Apps, then run az deployment sub create with the example parameters file.

Should I use Azure Container Apps or App Service for a Node.js API?▼

Container Apps is the recommended default because it offers scale-to-zero, WebSocket support, and shared environment logging. App Service Linux Node is simpler when deployment slots matter more than idle cost savings.

Does Azure API Management work with an OpenAPI document?▼

Yes. The APIM module imports the OpenAPI document from the API's /api/openapi.json endpoint via the apimOpenApiUrl parameter. APIM then handles JWT validation, CORS, rate limiting, and developer portal exposure.

Can I keep SQL Server instead of migrating to PostgreSQL on Azure?▼

Yes. Set dbEngine=sqlserver in the parameters to provision Azure SQL Database or Azure SQL Managed Instance instead of PostgreSQL Flexible Server. This applies when Phase 1 of the migration retained SQL Server.

How do I avoid storing secrets in Bicep parameter files?▼

Pass Key Vault secret URIs such as databaseConnectionStringSecretUri instead of secret values, and use Container Apps Key Vault-backed secrets. Managed identity handles access to Key Vault, Blob Storage, and ACR without credentials.

How do I validate Bicep templates before deploying to Azure?▼

Run az bicep build on main.bicep to check compilation, then az deployment sub what-if with your parameters file to preview changes. For azd workflows, use azd provision --preview before actual provisioning.
