NOT intended for production use. For demonstration purposes only 😊 .

A demo node express app to show off GitHub Actions CD capabilities by deploying to an Azure App Service.

This web app will allow you to search for any GitHub user by their handle!

Part of the GitHub Demo Day series! View Youtube recording here for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Setup

1. Create an Azure App Service and App Service Plan to host your node express app
2. Under the App Service -> Settings: Configuration -> Set the Application Setting: WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION to 10.0.0
3. Create deployment slots in the App Service for your different enviroments
4. Download the Publish Profile for the respective deployment slots
5. Update github/workflows files with the correct AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME
6. Create environments secret AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE for the correlating environments defined

Run App Locally:
