Get it deployed, and keep it running.
The gap between "it works on my machine" and "it's live, stable and monitored" is real work — and it's where a lot of projects stall. I deploy .NET and web apps to Azure, set up CI/CD so releases are one click, and wire in the database, secrets and monitoring that keep it healthy in production. Remote, worldwide.
From a repo to a running, monitored app on Azure.
Cloud work is judged the first time you have to deploy a fix at speed, or read the logs during an incident. Here's the setup I put in place so both are boring.
App & container hosting
Deployment to Azure App Service or containers — the same kind of hosting running my live multi-GDS platform, configured to scale and restart cleanly.
Build & release pipelines
GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipelines so every push builds, tests and deploys itself — no more manual, error-prone releases.
Azure SQL & storage
Managed databases, blob storage and backups set up properly — with migrations that run as part of the release, not by hand. See database work →
Secrets & configuration
Key Vault for secrets, managed identities, and per-environment config — so credentials never live in code or a repo.
Monitoring & alerts
Application Insights, log analytics, health checks and alerts — so you find out something's wrong before your customers do.
Right-sizing & cost control
Picking the right tiers and scaling rules so you pay for what you use — a cloud bill that matches the traffic, not the fear.
What every deployment includes
A deployment isn't done when the app loads once. It's done when you can release, roll back and diagnose it safely. Every setup ships with that.
- App Service or container deployment, configured to scale
- CI/CD pipeline — build, test, deploy on every push
- Environment separation (staging & production)
- Azure SQL / storage with backups
- Secrets in Key Vault, not in code
- Application Insights, logging & alerts
- Custom domain, HTTPS & certificates
- A short runbook so you can operate it
The person who built it can deploy it
I'm not a DevOps specialist who's never seen your code — I'm the engineer who writes the app and the database, so the deployment fits what's actually running, not a generic template.
- A real platform in production on Azure, run solo
- Deployments that account for the app's real behaviour
- Database migrations wired into the release safely
- Set up so your team can release without me
- Honest scope and a clear quote up front
- You own the infrastructure and the pipelines
From your code to a live, monitored app, in five steps.
Assess
What the app is, what it needs to run, and what "live and healthy" means for you. We agree the target setup and the budget.
Provision
The Azure resources — hosting, database, storage, secrets — set up cleanly and separated by environment.
Pipeline
The CI/CD pipeline so a push becomes a build, a test run and a deploy — with a rollback path.
Observe
Monitoring, logging and alerts wired in, and load and failure paths checked before you rely on it.
Hand over & support
Go live, hand you a runbook, and stay on to tune cost and scale as you grow. See support options →
The build behind the deployment.
Related services that show what I'm deploying — the backend, the database and the integrations that run on the cloud setup.
Backend & API development
The ASP.NET Core services that run on Azure — clean APIs, auth and background jobs, built for correctness under load.
Database engineering
The Azure SQL layer under your app — schema design, indexing and tuning so it stays fast in the cloud.
Legacy .NET modernization
Moving an old on-premise .NET app to the cloud is often step one of a rescue — I do that migration too.
Need your app deployed to Azure?
Tell me what you've built and where it needs to run — a rough idea is enough. You'll get an honest scope and a clear quote, with no pressure.
