Nitya Narasimhan, Ph.DIt's time to celebrate! 🎉
Azure Static Web Apps became generally available on May 12, 2021, launching a turnkey service for modern full-stack web apps with pre-built and pre-rendered static front-ends, and serverless API backends. That was nearly a year ago!
Celebrate with #SWAanniversary
On May 19, 2022, join us live on Learn TV for a 2-hour celebration of the first SWA Anniversary! The event will also be livestreamed to Twitter, Twitch and YouTube on the Microsoft Developer channel.
We'll be hanging out with our favorite speakers and guests from both Microsoft and the larger developer community. Can you tell we're excited for this milestone?
Add the event to your calendar, and join us live - or bookmark this page and revisit it for links to relevant resources and video replays.
Schedule & Speakers
Check out the Event page to learn more about the speakers and topics on the agenda.
I updated this link on May 14 given we just had new speakers and topics added to the agenda!
We've got a number of familiar faces from Microsoft, but I'm most excited to hear from the developer community (about their projects) and from the Azure Static Web Apps team (about what's next!)
