Reviewer scorecard
“Azure OpenAI Service gives you GPT-4 with enterprise SLAs, content filtering, and VNet integration. Production-ready.”
“The free tier is absurdly generous and the cold starts are essentially zero. For APIs, middleware, and edge logic, nothing else gives you this performance at this price.”
“If your org is Microsoft-first, Azure AI is the path of least resistance. Copilot integration is the killer feature.”
“The Worker runtime has limitations — no Node.js stdlib, size limits, CPU time limits. Know the constraints. But for what it does well, it's unbeatable.”
“Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and enterprise distribution makes Azure AI the default for Fortune 500 AI adoption.”
“Cloudflare is building the programmable internet. Workers + D1 + R2 + AI = a complete platform that runs at the edge. They're quietly becoming the default infrastructure layer.”
