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 with Static Website
• Front Door Endpoint (with Front Door Classic)
• Delivery Rules for API rewrites

Deployment

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

• The declared website is created in Blob Storage
• A Front Door endpoint is created to serve your website and rewrite all APIs to /api/{apiName} using Delivery Rules
• Cache invalidation is automatic based on changed files
