Deploy Spring boot apps to Azure using Github action!

Description

Learn how to create an Azure web app for Java, configure Azure with GitHub actions to set up CI/CD for a Spring Boot app, learn how to create an Azure SQL instance using the Azure portal, and connect the Spring Boot app to Azure SQL database with the appropriate configuration.

In the ever-evolving landscape of application development, Azure offers a suite of powerful tools and services designed to empower Java developers and streamline the deployment process. One of the fundamental components in this ecosystem is the creation of Azure web apps for Java.

With Azure web apps for Java, developers gain access to a feature-rich environment, perfectly tailored to support Java-based projects. From the moment you set up your web app through the Azure portal, you open the door to a world of possibilities. The platform provides a seamless and efficient way to deploy robust, scalable applications with ease.

One of the key advantages of using Azure for Java-based projects is the integration of GitHub actions for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). By combining the power of Azure and GitHub, developers can automate the entire process of building, testing, and deploying Spring Boot applications.

CI/CD eliminates the need for manual intervention in the deployment pipeline, ensuring that each time you commit code changes to your GitHub repository, Azure springs into action. The platform automatically compiles, tests, and deploys your Spring Boot app to the Azure web app you've set up. This streamlined workflow ensures that your application is continuously updated with the latest changes while maintaining stability and reliability.

A crucial aspect of any application is its database management. Azure provides Azure SQL Database, a fully managed and up-to-date relational database service designed specifically for the cloud. With Azure SQL Database, you can deploy, manage, and scale databases effortlessly, taking advantage of its high availability and reliability features.

Connecting your Spring Boot app to Azure SQL Database is a seamless process that requires the appropriate configuration. Once your Azure SQL instance is ready, you can obtain the connection details and integrate them into your Spring Boot app. This integration allows your application to interact with the database seamlessly, storing and retrieving data as needed.
