Reviewer scorecard
“Azure OpenAI Service gives you GPT-4 with enterprise SLAs, content filtering, and VNet integration. Production-ready.”
“Solid Heroku alternative with better pricing. Auto-deploy from Git, managed Postgres, and Redis without the complexity.”
“If your org is Microsoft-first, Azure AI is the path of least resistance. Copilot integration is the killer feature.”
“Reliable, well-priced, and boring in the best way. Free tier is useful for side projects.”
“Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and enterprise distribution makes Azure AI the default for Fortune 500 AI adoption.”
“Not relevant for non-developers. Use Vercel or Netlify if you want frontend-first deployment.”
