Reviewer scorecard
“Azure OpenAI Service gives you GPT-4 with enterprise SLAs, content filtering, and VNet integration. Production-ready.”
“The deployment experience is unmatched. Git push → preview URL → merge → production. AI Gateway is a smart addition — route between AI providers without changing code.”
“If your org is Microsoft-first, Azure AI is the path of least resistance. Copilot integration is the killer feature.”
“At small scale it's nearly free and incredible. At high scale, costs can surprise you. Know your usage patterns and set budget alerts. The product itself is excellent.”
“Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and enterprise distribution makes Azure AI the default for Fortune 500 AI adoption.”
“Vercel is building the cloud for the AI era — AI Gateway, Workflow DevKit, Edge Functions. They're not just a hosting platform, they're the application platform.”
