Last post I mentioned about swapping the DB for some data. Well... I've done it. Mostly done it. I've got code written for it. I still need to get the IaC set up for the DB and connection strings... blah blah... I got the code ... some code... written. Ignoring the…
I have to rework a huge piece of my site (MtgDiscover.com) for collecting magic cards. Specifically, the cosmos document for my collection got to big. So I need to switch to Azure SQL. I have 4 queries that run against my collection document. They are very basic. Any additional…
Abstracting the OS - The pain felt of not listening to my own practices. I'm trying to shift my website to run on a linux app service plan instead of windows. It'll save me $40+ per month, so... worth it. That's 4 extra boxes of booster packs I can get…

OK, so - I've got the new version of MtgDiscovery up and I started doing more non-local work. My head-to-wall(and repeat) work with Azure B2C early into this project is coming roaring back. This time, APIM has joined the fight. Going to the App Service URL and signing in…
My magic the gathering cards site uses Azure App Configuration with references to Azure KeyVault. A cool thing about this, that I don't set up perfectly, is that the Azure App Config doesn't actually need permissions to the KeyVault. It's just storing references for the consuming app. My IaC gives…
