Reviewer scorecard
“Azure OpenAI Service gives you GPT-4 with enterprise SLAs, content filtering, and VNet integration. Production-ready.”
“For apps that need full server control — WebSocket servers, background workers, AI inference — Fly.io gives you the flexibility that serverless platforms don't.”
“If your org is Microsoft-first, Azure AI is the path of least resistance. Copilot integration is the killer feature.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and enterprise distribution makes Azure AI the default for Fortune 500 AI adoption.”
“Fly.io is the answer for workloads that don't fit the serverless model. As AI inference goes local-first, having servers in 30+ regions matters.”
