Hey all!

I'm sure that anyone who has seen me talk in the last few years knows that there is on Azure resource that I love talking up: Azure Static Web Apps. I've loved this technology since its early preview days.

No longer needing to deploy several resources just to get a simple app deployed to the web, now you get static content for your SPA (Single Page Application) seamlessly paired with the magic of Azure Functions for the API.

It's like peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, or—dare I say it—like code and caffeine. Azure Static Web Apps made it all possible. No more wrestling with complex setups; just pure developer joy. 🤓

Fast-forward to today and Azure Static Web Apps has evolved, matured, and become the reliable companion we all need. From the simple HTML apps, to full on eventing systems. Static Web Apps have your back 😌
