How Microsoft emerged from the darkness to embrace the cloud

Azure is actually a pretty good product.

Recently I was working on a side project and decided to use Azure for a change and I loved it's offerings.

That said, a few criticisms:

it's pretty buggy and it shows.

Furthermore, it's documentation at times is contradictory. (and it's sdks are all over the place - especially for nodeJS)

And all in all, it does not look like a mature product (many a times, I was working on fixing / catching issues with Azure rather than my project itself - something I'd not expect to have to do)

All that said, it's still a great product and in time, I hope they fix their stuff and work towards stability.

I've noticed the SDK and sample code problem as well. Things are moving so fast on the product teams that docs suffer.

EDIT: That being said, I work with Azure pretty extensively and it's great.

Yeah the SDKs outside of C# are supported by the services team. They are created by a separate team so you will run into issues where the node SDK won't have the latest features

There's a funny story about the dashboard when I worked at MS.

My team complained about the dashboard having issues and we were told that a new one was in works and to hold on tight. A year later, we see the new dashboard - everything go 2x complicated, 3x buggy and 2x slower.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They used to have a pretty good dashboard, and then they figured out that they messed it up with the current one. It is so damn slow. Many times I wonder if the request went through or not.
