Simplified Guide to Deploying Your Backend on Azure
Deploying your backend to Azure can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps. Here’s a concise guide to get your backend up and running on Azure App Service.
Step-by-Step Deployment
1. Authenticate with Azure
Begin by logging into Azure from your terminal:
az login2. Create an App Service Plan
Set up your App Service plan:
az appservice plan create --name YourPlanName --resource-group YourResourceGroup --sku FREEReplace YourPlanName and YourResourceGroup with your desired plan name and resource group respectively.
3. Create a Web App
Create your web application with the appropriate runtime:
az webapp create --resource-group YourResourceGroup --plan YourPlanName --name YourAppName --runtime "java:17:Java SE:17"Ensure to replace YourResourceGroup, YourPlanName, and YourAppName with your specific details.
4. Configure App Settings
Set up your application settings, including database connection strings:
az webapp config appsettings set --name YourAppName --resource-group YourResourceGroup --settings PGSQL_DB=db-name PGSQL_PWD=your-passwordModify YourAppName, YourResourceGroup, db-name, and your-password accordingly.
5. Enable Logging
Configure logging for your application for better monitoring and debugging:
az webapp log config --name YourAppName --resource-group YourResourceGroup --application-logging filesystem --level verbose6. View Logs in Real-Time
To monitor logs in real-time, use:
az webapp log tail --name YourAppName --resource-group YourResourceGroup7. Deploy Your Application
Deploy your JAR file to Azure:
az webapp deploy --resource-group YourResourceGroup --name YourAppName --src-path PathToYourJarFile --type jarReplace PathToYourJarFile with the absolute path to your JAR file.
Note: Before deploying, ensure you have your JAR file ready by running:
mvn clean package8. Confirm Logging Configuration
Double-check that your logging is set up correctly:
az webapp log config --name YourAppName --resource-group YourResourceGroup --application-logging filesystem --level verboseWrapping Up
And that’s it! Your backend should now be deployed on Azure. Remember to replace placeholders with your actual resource names and paths. Happy coding!
