Both of our products run on Azure, and we treat the infrastructure with the same rigour as the application code.
Everything in code
Environments are described as infrastructure as code, so dev, staging, and production stay in step and a new environment is a deploy, not a weekend. Pipelines build, test, and promote releases without anyone hand-editing a server.
- Identity through Azure AD B2C, with roles carried in the token.
- Storage, messaging, and data as managed Azure services.
- Observability wired in from day one, not bolted on later.
The payoff is boring in the best way: deploys are routine, rollbacks are safe, and the team spends its energy on the product instead of the plumbing.
