We recently wanted to set up CI for one of our Angular apps on Azure. After spending sometime going through a sea of suggestions on the same we concluded on the following steps! Hopefully this helps a fellow programmer save some time! Step1:- To deploy an Angular 2 app (in this case v4) to Azure […]

Choose your Serverless Framework!!
Almost all the projects we work on are cloud based applications. A common question that crops up every time we start looking to use serverless components in any project is which one?? Azure Functions or AWS Lambda( there are ofcourse others but these two seem to be our favorites at the moment). Both frameworks come […]
Migrating an existing WebAPI into Serverless functions!
We have been dabbling with Serverless computing for sometime now . Recently we decided to check if it made sense to convert an existing customer’s WebAPI into a set of serverless functions. The accompanying question was which would be the right stack? AWS Lambda or Azure Functions. We aim to pen down here what were […]
Using the Azure Support Portal to diagnose a CPU Spike!
In one of our recent projects we had alerts set up for CPU and memory spikes. The CPU alert was set at 10% and 50%. While we got the 10% alert periodically when the app was in active usage , we also got a few 50% alerts once in a while which would get resolved […]
How we almost killed our Azure Deployment by diagnosing it!
We recently learnt a lot of new lessons in Azure Websites deployments and diagnostics and will plan to write a set of blogs to hopefully help some fellow programmers but this one lesson is most important to remember before you even start diagnosing! Recently while checking the health of one of our production deployments we […]
Error while hosting Node+socket.io chat room on Azure
One of our recent projects involve a scalable mult-chatroom service. Deciding to go the route of Node+socket.io for scalable and performance oriented service we started with the official socket.io tutorial at (http://socket.io/get-started/chat/). That worked wonderfully . As the next step we went ahead and hosted it on Azure! Here is what the socket told us! […]
A Web App to improve your Azure Machine Learning Experience!
As soon as we created our first Azure ML experiment we were eager to share it with other team mates and get their views…and we hit our first hurdle..there was no way to share the published experiment with others unless we quickly created a console app and copy paste the code that Azure has provided […]
A Beginners ramp up path to Azure Machine Learning
BigData, Analytics and Machine learning are new buzzwords everywhere you look and its easy to get overwhelmed with information when you decide to start ramping up on these! As part of an internal experiment we are doing at Cennest we’ve logged out our “learning path” for Machine learning which would take an application developer to […]
Using git to host MEAN stack on Azure!
Recently we were working on a project for creating a website using MEAN (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js) stack and we were stuck with the process of hosting it on azure. After a bit of exploring we finally came across some options through which we can host our website on Azure:- Windows PowerShell, WebMatrix […]
Exploring the limits of Azure Scalability!
While working on a recent Azure project we wanted to know the “limits” of scalability our app will hit eventually( There is nothing called Infinite scalability …) . Now there is a default limit to everything on Azure and then there is the “enhanced limit” which you can enjoy if you open a ticket with […]
