nVibes is a real-world case study for building a modern, AI-enabled social platform on Azure with sovereignty, privacy, and security at its core.

In this session, Christian Alexander Schreiber, CEO & Founder and Lead Architect of nVibes, walks through the architectural decisions behind a production-adjacent Azure platform: Cloudflare Edge in front of Azure, Azure Standard Load Balancer, Frontend VM Scale Set, dedicated API and database tiers, a private AI VM, Azure Private DNS, Network Security Groups, Managed Identity, and a self-hosted LLM approach.

The talk focuses on one central question: how can we integrate responsible AI into a digital platform without giving models direct access to databases, secrets, internal services, or uncontrolled user data?

Attendees will learn how nVibes separates frontend, API, database, and AI runtime responsibilities; how private networking and controlled backend authorization reduce risk; and how MVP infrastructure can evolve toward hardened, reproducible, least-privilege cloud architecture.

This is not a theoretical cloud diagram session. It is a practical architecture story about building, securing, and scaling a real platform where Azure, AI, privacy, and European digital sovereignty must work together.
