Azure Resources - Websites

Nitric Websites are deployed to Azure using Azure Blob Storage and Azure Front Door.

Azure Resources

The following resources are created when deploying Websites to Azure:

• Blob Storage Account for each Static Website
• Front Door Endpoint (with Front Door Standard)
• Delivery Rules for API and Subsite rewrites

Deployment

During deployment the Nitric CLI creates a storage account for each website's assets and a Front Door distribution to serve them:

• Each declared website is deployed to a separate Azure Storage account
• Each website is deployed to a $web container within the storage account
• A Front Door endpoint is created to serve your website and rewrite all APIs to /api/{apiName} using Delivery Rules
• Cache invalidation is triggered when files have changed, this can also be skipped within your stack configuration
