Building a Better GitHub Pages Experience Using Azure Services, How Hard Can It be?
summary
Claim is: reproduce and extend GitHub Pages using Azure in hours, not months. Uses Azure DevOps pipelines to run Jekyll via Docker, pushes static output to Azure Blob Storage, fronts it with Azure CDN + TLS, and manages infra with Pulumi (TypeScript). Adds dynamic comments via Azure Functions backed by Table Storage; pipelines deploy to staging then production with manual approval and CDN purge. Demo fully deploys and serves custom-domain HTTPS sites; cost is near‑zero.
