Azure for .NET-friendly SaaS hosting and managed scale paths

We use Azure when products align with Microsoft ecosystems, enterprise agreements, and managed services for apps, data, and messaging.

ARCHITECTURE FIT

Where Azure fits in the stack

Cloud choice follows client agreements, compliance regions, and team ops capacity.

Typical Azure placement

  1. CDN / Front Door

    Edge routing and TLS

  2. App Service / AKS

    APIs and workers

  3. PostgreSQL / SQL / Redis

    Transactional and cache layers

  4. Service Bus / Event Grid

    Async integration

  5. Monitor + Key Vault

    Secrets, metrics, alerts

Common use cases

  • .NET SaaS on Azure

    Native fit
  • Enterprise agreements

    EA / compliance
  • Hybrid connectivity

    VPN / ExpressRoute
  • Event-driven on Service Bus

STACK DECISIONS

Architecture decisions for Azure

Azure vs AWS vs VPS: align with buyer context, not personal preference.

When we recommend it

  • Enterprise clients standardize on Microsoft agreements
  • .NET services and Azure-native messaging are core to the stack
  • Regulated workloads need specific Azure regions and controls

When we do not recommend it

  • Organization is AWS-first with mature AWS ops (forcing Azure adds friction)
  • Simple MVP could run on one VPS until product validation
  • Multi-cloud is a hard requirement without clear isolation plan

Alternatives to consider

  • AWS

    Product and team are AWS-native with existing infra

  • VPS / bare metal

    Early MVP with manual ops acceptable temporarily

  • Multi-cloud abstraction

    Rare cases with explicit portability requirements
