Digital Resume deployed on Azure

This project is a cloud-hosted digital resume, deployed on Azure Static Web Apps with CI/CD automation. I forked Divanov11’s Digital Resume repository, customized it, and initially hosted it on Azure Storage Static Website.

Later, I migrated it to Azure Static Web Apps for built-in HTTPS, CI/CD and simplified management. After setting up the site, I purchased the domain saidinthecloud.com and configured it to point to my Azure Static Web App.

To track website visits, I developed a visitor counter using Azure Functions (Node.js), which updates and retrieves visitor counts stored in Azure Cosmos DB. The frontend calls this API securely using CORS configurations.

Final Output: The result of this project is the website you are currently visiting, Saidinthecloud.com, with a working visitor counter displayed on the homepage.

🔹 Key Technologies Used

• Azure Static Web Apps – Provides hosting with built-in CI/CD, removing the need for manual updates.
• Azure Functions (Node.js) – A serverless API that processes visitor tracking without requiring infrastructure management.
• Azure Cosmos DB – A globally distributed NoSQL database used to store and retrieve visitor counts efficiently.
• GitHub Actions – Automates the deployment of frontend updates to Azure Static Web Apps whenever changes are pushed.
• CORS Configuration – Enables secure cross-origin API requests, allowing the frontend to communicate with the backend.
• JavaScript (Frontend Fetch API) – Calls the Azure Function API and updates the visitor count dynamically on the webpage.

🔹 Future Improvements

• Architecture Diagram – Design a visual representation of the project’s flow, illustrating how each component (frontend, API, database) interacts.
• Include the source code - finalise the source for for reference, making it easier for future modifications.
• Implement CI/CD for Backend – Automate Azure Function deployments using GitHub Actions, replacing the current manual deployment through the Azure portal.
