Azure Helps Deploy Apps to Cloud Easier with
Continuous Delivery Platform for Developers
“The Last.Backend platform fully integrates with Azure. Our dev team created a geo-replicated platform using powerful v-nets, gateway, and traffic manager technologies. By using Application Insights we always know what’s happening with our apps.” – Alexander Kaloshin, CEO, Last.Backend
SITUATION
The Last.Backend platform is a Continuous Delivery platform which handles and manages hundreds of customers’ servers around the world. For it to function successfully, the platform needs to be highly available and reliable and geo-distributed on at least three continents. In a period of rapid growth, Last.Backend also needed a cloud infrastructure solution that could deliver dynamic scaling and low-cost management.

Using Azure Application Insights, the Last.Backend dev team gets the ultimate ability to know what is happening with the platform. Last.Backend uses Azure Service Bus queues and Traffic Manager to distribute globally and Azure Storage and Web and Worker Roles to scale as needed. Azure Redis Cache also allows Last.Backend to have a near-real-time dashboard.
