Full stack ASP.NET Core/Angular application to demonstrate and explore various options for deploying and hosting of web applications in Microsoft Azure.
A 2019 demo project showing how to deploy an ASP.NET Core 2.1 + Angular polling app to Azure. Three components: a voter UI, an admin UI, and a REST API with SignalR for real-time vote updates. The IoT angle is an ESP32 (M5Stack) physical button that submits votes via MQTT/Azure IoT Hub.
The ESP32 integration is the only genuinely interesting part — a physical voting device that talks to the same SignalR hub is a good demo concept. The repo has proper separation of concerns across three deployable units (voter UI, admin UI, API). Helm charts and Azure DevOps pipelines are included, so it's at least attempting to show the full deployment story, not just 'it runs locally'.
Everything here is circa 2018-2019: ASP.NET Core 2.1 (EOL), Angular 4 (four major versions behind), no auth on the admin UI in a sample app that supposedly teaches Azure deployment. It hasn't been touched in 7 years, has 1 star and 0 forks, and the binary build artifacts (fw.zip, fw.elf) are committed to the repo. This is a personal learning project that was never meant for anyone else to actually use.
