A fellow speaker once told me that Azure Static Web Apps are "fun, but not really real-world useful." I went home and wrote this talk.

Turns out, with the standard tier and the right approach, they can hold their own in any enterprise architecture — and this session will show you exactly how.

We'll cover everything you need to hit the ground running — Bicep templates, the required command line tooling, and Azure DNS integration to get a production-ready foundation in place. From there we'll look at reworking the default pipeline to support testing and multi-environment deployments from a single build.

If time allows, we'll go further — custom authentication using Auth0 and role management via Azure Functions.

Target audience: Developers considering Azure Static Web Apps for the first time, architects evaluating their enterprise viability, and existing SWA developers looking to take their implementation further.
This is a demo-heavy session — 5 slides, the rest is live demonstration.
Preferred duration: 45-60 minutes. Can be delivered in 30 minutes at reduced detail, with the custom authentication section removed if necessary.
