I’ve previously written about how to return an image from an Azure Function which deals with returning a generated image from the function, however it’s also useful to return images which might be stored elsewhere such as in Azure Blob Storage or an AWS S3 bucket. I’ve created an example Read more…
I’ve previously posted about how to add Azure Table Storage clients via dependency injection for which I created my own extension methods using SAS tokens as MSI authentication wasn’t available. Happily MSI authentication for Azure Table Storage is now available (though pretty poorly documented) so a guide on how to Read more…
You can deploy WordPress onto an Azure Web App by copying the files directly to the FTP site behind it but the easiest option is to clone it directly from the offical WordPress Github repository. This can be done by adding it as an external Git repository in the Deployment Read more…

If you’re setting up a WordPress site in an Azure Web App then an easy option for hosting the required MySQL database is to use the MySQL in app option of the Web App rather than setting up a new MySQL server. Though it’s worth noting that this isn’t very Read more…
Azure Table storage is a way of storing structured NoSQL data in the cloud, as such it’s more geared towards rapid read access rather than manipulation of data in the table. If you want to perform any operations such as updates or deletes on data in your table then the Read more…
I’ve recently started trying to get my head around unit testing (I probably should have learnt this a while ago) and part of this has involved trying to figure out the best way to integrate them with Azure DevOps. In my case I wanted to have a pipeline which built Read more…
