Strapi is an open-source, headless CMS that is highly customizable and developer-friendly. Azure App Service is a fully managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web applications. Deploying Strapi on Azure App Service combines Strapi's flexible content management capabilities with the scalability and reliability of Microsoft's cloud infrastructure. This integration includes key Azure services such as Linux App Service, Azure PostgreSQL or MySQL database instances, Azure Blob Storage for media uploads, Azure Communication Services for email, Azure Virtual Network, and more.

To simplify the deployment and provisioning of Strapi on Azure App Service, we have developed pre-configured Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. These templates deploy Strapi into Azure App Service and provision the necessary Azure resources. This solution template is ideal for initial setups and testing scenarios, and with some modifications, it can also be used in production environments. It helps you get started quickly and provides an optimized solution for performance and security from day one.
