I am eager to see your next post about making your app more firebase! How did you secure the Azure Tables connection string actually as I assume the Vue app is completely running in the browser? And what do you think of the easiness of Azure compared to Firebase?

so actually - there's an easier way to do all this stuff now, by using Azure Static Web Apps! azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services... - super nice and easy to use. You can store your connection strings in the portal and use them via a quick Azure Function. Right now, we're missing the Realtime ease of Firebase in Azure, although you can do it with SignalR.
Yes that's a great improvement! Couple of areas that are outperformed by Firebase still:
database integration (cosmosdb)
password based authentication (azure b2c)
realtime integration (signalr)
It would make sense to lower the entry-level to starting using these services.
I will explore the authentication and authorization feature of Static Web Apps further. Surprisingly it seems that you don't need to touch Azure Active Directory!

yes! I have some sample code for getting Auth working nicely with a Static Web App: github.com/jlooper/storytelling-app
