Tips and Tidbits

• Static web apps are commonly built using libraries and frameworks like Angular, React, Svelte, Vue, or Blazor where server side rendering is not required.

  • These apps include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image assets that make up the application.

  • With a traditional web server, these assets are served from a single server alongside any required API endpoints.

Open

• With Static Web Apps, static assets are separated from a traditional web server and are instead served from points geographically distributed around the world.

• This distribution makes serving files much faster as files are physically closer to end users. In addition, API endpoints are hosted using a serverless architecture, which avoids the need for a full back-end server all together.

• Authentication provider integrations with Azure Active Directory, GitHub, and Twitter.

  • Authentication and authorization for Azure Static Web Apps

  • Azure Static Web Apps provides managed authentication that uses provider registrations managed by Azure.

  • To enable more flexibility over the registration, you can override the defaults with a custom registration.

  • Custom authentication also allows you to configure custom providers that support OpenID Connect. This configuration allows the registration of multiple external providers.
