- Who Cleans Up After the Coding Agents? Vibe Coding Has a Garbage Collection Problem AI made it nearly free to start coding work. After cleaning up 96 local branches across 41 repositories, I think agentic development needs a safer lifecycle for finishing, archiving, and deleting it.
- What the New API Management AI Gateway Tier Changes for App Service-Hosted Agents App Service remains the application runtime for your agent. The dedicated API Management AI Gateway tier becomes the governed boundary for models and MCP tools.
- Build Durable, Long-Running MCP Tasks on Azure App Service Build reconnect-safe, retryable MCP Tasks on Azure App Service with .NET, Azure Table Storage for durable task state, and Azure Service Bus for durable work dispatch.
- Announcing Public Preview: Markdown for Agents in Azure App Service Markdown for Agents lets Azure App Service automatically convert HTML responses into cleaner, smaller Markdown for AI agents—without requiring changes to application code.
- Microsoft Foundry Now Has an AI Gateway Control Plane — What Changes for App Service Microsoft Foundry can now create or associate an APIM-based AI Gateway directly from its Admin console. Here's what that changes for an App Service-hosted agent, what stays in APIM, and the v2-tier constraint to check before migrating.
- MCP Enterprise Authorization Is Here — What Entra and App Service Can Do Today MCP Enterprise-Managed Authorization standardizes how enterprise identity reaches a resource authorization server. See what Entra ID and App Service provide today, what ID-JAG adds, and try both paths in a working Python sample.
- Give your AI agent two memories with Azure App Service Build an AI agent with two distinct memory horizons: bounded conversation history in Azure Managed Redis and durable, user-scoped semantic memory in Azure Cosmos DB, all hosted on Azure App Service.
- The Cloud's Most Underrated Feature: Someone Else to Blame The App Service team on the quiet superpower of the cloud — the closer you get to PaaS, the more of your infrastructure (and your outages) become someone else's problem. A love letter to the shared responsibility model, and a nudge toward App Service Managed Instance.
- The Iceberg Demo: Why the Best Ones Look Boring A to-do list. An online store. On the surface our demos look almost too simple — underneath they run the newest platform features, MCP, and multi-agent AI. An App Service PM on why that gap is the whole point.
- MCP Just Went Stateless — What the 2026 Spec Changes About Scaling on App Service The MCP 2026-07-28 release candidate deletes the handshake and the session header, so MCP is stateless at the protocol layer. Here's what that changes for horizontally scaling MCP servers on App Service — and why the pattern from Part 1 is now just how MCP works.
- Only 8.5% of MCP servers use OAuth — here's how to host one securely on App Service Most MCP servers ship with no authentication, and the CVEs are already piling up. This post walks through a hardened reference architecture on Azure App Service — Easy Auth with spec-compliant MCP authorization, managed identity, Key Vault, private endpoints, and APIM — that closes the 'exposed MCP endpoint' problem. One azd up deploys the lot.
- Now in Preview: Built-in MCP for Azure App Service Announced at Build 2026: built-in MCP turns a REST API you already host on App Service into a Model Context Protocol server — no MCP code to write, no second service to deploy.
- You can build a framework-agnostic AI gateway on Azure App Service — here's how AWS shipped Bedrock AgentCore as a closed, opinionated agent runtime. Azure's answer is the opposite — composable services you already have. This post walks through a runnable sample: one App Service hosting both an Agent Framework agent and the MCP server it calls, fronted by APIM with the AI Gateway policy set for token rate limiting, semantic caching, and per-subscription token-metric chargeback. One azd up deploys the lot — and the framework on top is genuinely interchangeable.
- Debugging Python apps on App Service with the new SSH helper aliases App Service's new SSH helper aliases turn the old playbook of 'open SSH and remember which 14 commands to run' into one-word commands like ai-diagnose, apphelp, and showpkgs. Co-authored with Tulika Chaudharie, this post tours the aliases against a deliberately fragile FastAPI sample that injects six realistic faults — and shows when ai-test being green is itself the diagnosis.
- Turn Your App Service Web App Into a Self-Healing Agent: LLMOps Best Practices for Production Web-app SLOs (Http5xx, p95) don't catch the failures that actually hurt an agent in production: unbounded cost, silent quality regressions, prompt drift. This post walks through the LLMOps middleware — SLIs, a budget circuit breaker, prompt-repair retries, and an auto slot-swap rollback driven by Azure Monitor — that I built into a deployable App Service sample.
- You Can Scale MCP Servers Behind a Load Balancer on App Service — Here's How Most MCP servers ship as single instances. With the stateless HTTP transport in MCP 2025-11-25, you can put one behind App Service's load balancer and scale it like any other web API — no sticky sessions required.
- Govern AI Agents on App Service with the Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit Add policy enforcement, tool allowlists, and deny-by-default governance to your multi-agent apps on Azure App Service — in under 50 lines of code. Part 3 of the Build → Monitor → Govern series.
- Monitor AI Agents on App Service with OpenTelemetry and the New Application Insights Agent UI Instrument your AI agents with OpenTelemetry and light up the brand-new Agents (Preview) view in Application Insights. See token usage, agent traces, and end-to-end transaction details for agents running on Azure App Service.
- Build Multi-Agent AI Apps on Azure App Service with Microsoft Agent Framework 1.0 GA Deploy a multi-agent travel planner on Azure App Service using the GA release of Microsoft Agent Framework. Covers the unified API surface, breaking changes from preview, and why App Service is the sweet spot for agent workloads.
- Build and Host MCP Apps on Azure App Service MCP Apps let your AI tools return rich, interactive UIs. Learn how to build a weather widget MCP App and deploy it to Azure App Service.
- How I Automated Half My PM Job with an AI Agent Team I built a 6-agent AI team that scans competitors, generates feature ideas, writes product proposals, and files everything as GitHub Issues — so every morning I have fresh work to explore.
- How I Used Squad to Tackle 78 Azure CLI Issues in a Day A PM's honest account of using Brady Gaster's Squad — a multi-agent AI team — to burn through years of Azure CLI App Service backlog with human oversight, live validation, and git worktrees.
- You Can Host OpenClaw on Azure App Service — Here's How Deploy OpenClaw to Azure App Service with VNet integration, private endpoints, and one-command deployment using azd.
