The author hits multiple deployment obstacles: the Visual Studio 'Publish' action failing due to project size (worked around with cspack.exe directly), a 403 error caused by only packaging the /bin folder instead of all content, and a production outage caused by swapping staging and production deployments that was eventually fixed by embedding the ServiceConfiguration directly in the package. The post closes with practical gripes about Azure's immature tooling at the time: no log viewer in the developer portal, no way to do partial package updates, and uncertainty about dev-fabric parity with the live web fabric. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
