Deploy a full-stack .NET + JS Framework app
Although this is The C# Academy and we love working within the .NET ecossystem, we can't ignore that that the world of front-end is dominated by Javascript frameworks, especially React and Angular. Newer contenders such as Vue and Svelte are options to the two giants although there isn't much hype around them.
Your job in this project will be to deploy a CRUD app to azure using a .NET Web API and a front-end framework of your choice. It can be React, Angular, but if you prefer working with other technologies, it's totally up to you. If you've been working your away through our projects, and have completed a JS framework section, you already have a project ready to go.
So let's get into it!
Requirements
You'll have to deploy a full-stack app to Azure
You'll have to create an SQL server in azure
You'll have to create two app services: one for the Web API and one for the front-end app
Your app needs to have all 4 CRUD functionalities
Your app needs to have Authentication and Authorization. Non-authorized users should have Read permissions, but only authorized users should have Write Permissions.
Include a README with instructions on how to run the project, what the app does, how it works, and your architectural choices. Most importantly, include clear setup and run instructions and a reflection on your development experience, written in your own words.
Resources

Tips
You'll need to add CORS rules both on Azure and on the Web API
App services and SQL server are paid services on Azure. If you don't have an Azure Free Trial Subscription, let us know on Discord so we can prioritize your project review. In the best case scenario we will review your project quickly and you can delete all services and not pay a dime. If for whatever reason this process takes more than a few days you might need to pay a few cents (worst case scenario).
When setting up your SQL Server, choose the lowest possible database configuration to decrease the risks of getting charged. If you forget to delete the services and get charged you can still e-mail Azure and they'll waiver your debts (only once).
Do not, under any circumstances, deploy an app with SQL server without authorization & authentication. Bots will find your app pretty quickly and bombard it with requests, which might get you a massive bill. You'll still have it waivered, but it's a big scare (happened to me: I had a 500USD bill waivered).
Challenges
Use Azure Key Vault and Azure Secrets to get User's Credentials
DevOps: Set up a CI/CD pipeline in Azure using Docker/Kubernetes
