This repository provides an enterprise-grade reference architecture for building modern, composable JavaScript applications on Azure, featuring AI chatbot integration and Playwright tests. It's designed for developers and teams looking to implement best practices for cloud-native applications, micro-frontends, and AI-powered features.

How It Works

The architecture employs a microservices approach, leveraging Azure services like Static Web Apps for the Angular-based portal, Container Apps for Next.js blogs and Strapi CMS, and Azure Functions for backend APIs. It integrates Stripe for payments and utilizes Azure OpenAI for an AI chatbot via a RAG pattern. API Management acts as a central gateway.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run command: azd provision, azd deploy (requires Azure Developer CLI).
• Prerequisites: Azure account, Azure Developer CLI (azd), Node.js. GitHub Codespaces is recommended for development.
• Setup time: Provisioning and deployment via azd can take up to 40 minutes.
• Links: Developer Guide, Contributing.

Highlighted Details

• Demonstrates AI Chatbot integration using Azure OpenAI with a RAG pattern.
• Includes end-to-end testing with Playwright for the portal application.
• Supports multiple application scenarios: AI Chatbot, Payments, Real-time Notifications, Portal, Headless CMS, and Blog.
• Offers CI/CD configuration using GitHub Actions and Azure Developer CLI.
