This is a nightmare to start using... Microsoft is still old age! Thought it would be as easy as login in with github or even hotmail (my 2001 account looks useful again) but the you have to set up a billing plan in Azzure and blah blah blah...

This is super cool, and probably a step forward towards dev and deployment in the cloud (without the local environment). Heroku’s original idea was something similar almost 10 years ago, I got to play around with it back then and loved it. This is though it was probably ahead of it’s time back then.

I spun up my project in an Azure instance to play around. This is an incredible step forward in terms of collaborative coding and editing projects. Well done.
