Build and ship global full stack serverless web apps Q&A
summary
Demo builds a Next.js jokes site that calls OpenAI, stores results in PostgreSQL and exposes CRUD as REST/GraphQL endpoints using database connections backed by the Data API Builder, all started locally and deployed via GitHub Actions; dynamic routes run on managed Azure Functions while static assets serve from a global CDN option called enterprise grade edge. Local dev and debugging use the SWAS CLI and VS Code extension; role-based auth is supported via a role source function. The demo works end-to-end and pricing starts free or $9/month for Standard.
