I quite like Microsoft/Azure from a development perspective. If you're running .NET, Application Insights alone is nearly enough to put it above the competition. I appreciate how it integrates with AZD/Teams and the platform as a whole felt much more cohesive than AWS.

The monthly $60-$100 developer credit was fantastic as well. It avoided the usual fighting for approval/budget to test things out.

Application insights is amazing - I didn't realise how amazing until I had to try and achieve the same thing in the JavaScript/Node ecosystem.

Yeah, I'm currently missing it very much running .NET on AWS. It's insane how much it gives you for "free". CloudWatch feels like weak tea in comparison.

We moved from AWS to Azure for other reasons, but in doing so we moved from X-Ray to AppInsights, and the difference was amazing. We're big App Insights fans.
