Azure Digital Natives Guide

Why this guide?

Startups ship fast — but “fast” often means skipping identity hygiene, ignoring cost controls, and hardcoding secrets. By the time you hit product-market fit, the technical debt is already expensive to unwind. This guide distills the lessons learned from working with digital-native customers on Azure into a single, opinionated checklist backed by deep-dive documentation on every topic.

How to use this guide?

Start with the Checklist — scan the categories, check off what you’ve already done, and identify your gaps. Dive deeper — each checklist item links to a detailed page with rationale, implementation guidance, and official Azure documentation. Track progress — checkboxes persist in your browser using local storage. For team tracking, fork the repo and use the checklist in your own workflow.
