A Simple Blog Site

" summary

Builds a functional blog site with image upload, CRUD and previews backed by Azure Cosmos DB and CDN, using the Cosmos DB emulator locally and Blob Storage for images. Demo config uses autoscale 400–4,000 RUs, prefers serverless for low traffic, and warns about an old Azure Storage SDK (use 12.10 if Azurite breaks). Implements create vs upsert, synchronous waits to avoid emulator race conditions, and a delete flow that COUNTs other documents before removing images. Code is on GitHub and the demo runs end-to-end.
