Never noticed the #905057811682193429 channel, damn! Perhaps because it isn't used a lot. To give it some more activity, let my show you my own major project. Created by me (developer front/back-end) and a friend (designer/brander): https://www.campingzoeker.nl/ Currently running on Umbraco 11, in a Azure Docker container, on a B2 plan (recently upgraded) due to having 3500 visits / day 🤩 A dutch site to easily find your favorite camping spot 🙂

I don't know much about Docker so forgive me for asking but: what benefits do you get from hosting in an Azure Docker container?
a
Easy deployments mostly for me
It started as a test in early of Umb9, how it would run in a docker container, runs rather well 😄
I can easily switch between the code that is live
I just click which container I want to spin up

Okay, cool, thanks for the insights! I'll need to look into this some more, it's interesting. And really happy to hear it works so well for you! Cool site too!

Thanks! I also like that lets say I want to run it somewhere else, I can just put the docker container there, and it runs 😛
but I could also just natively run it on a Linux App though, but I like how the pipeline does everything for me, and I only need to switch which is the active container
so when I make some new features (that arent database dependent) I can easily swap images if something really breaks

@Ambert Are you still running on docker? On the long run is it cheaper than an app service plan? Also which Azure database are you using?
a
Definitly am, its just a regular webapp that can run a docker
Just a regulsr mssql server / database
Its cheaper then a windows app, and slightly cheaper over.Linux, atleast it was back then
