Deploying to Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps is a serverless container service that enables you to run microservices and containerized applications on a serverless platform. This guide covers the process of deploying the CodeNull AI Backend to Azure Container Apps.

​
Testing Locally with Docker

Before deploying to Azure, it’s recommended to test your application locally:
1

Build the Docker image

docker build --tag codenull-ai-backend .
This compiles your application into a Docker image.
2

Run the container locally

docker run -d --name codenull-ai-backend -p 8000:8000 codenull-ai-backend
This starts a container with your application accessible at http://localhost:8000.

​
Login to Azure

Before deploying to Azure, you need to authenticate: 
az login

​
Creating Azure Resources

If you haven’t already created a resource group, create one with: 
az group create --name web-fastapi-codenull-rg --location westus2

​
Deploying to Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps allows you to deploy directly from your local source code: 
az containerapp up \
    --resource-group web-fastapi-codenull-rg \
    --name web-codenull-app \
    --ingress external \
    --target-port 8000 \
    --source .
This command:
  • Creates a new container app called web-codenull-app
  • Configures it with external ingress to allow public access
  • Maps it to port 8000 (the port your application listens on)
  • Builds and deploys the application from the current directory

​
Viewing Your Deployment

To view details about your deployed container app: 
az containerapp show -n web-codenull-app -g web-fastapi-codenull-rg
Your application should now be accessible at the URL provided in the output (e.g., https://<your-app-name>.<region>.azurecontainerapps.io/).

​
API Endpoints

All endpoints (except health check) use the base path /codenull/ai/api/v1/. Here are some of the available endpoints:
  1. Health Check: GET /health
  2. Chat Completion: POST /codenull/ai/api/v1/chat-completion
  3. Generate Website: POST /codenull/ai/api/v1/generate-website
  4. Optimize SEO: POST /codenull/ai/api/v1/optimize-seo
  5. Evaluate Website: POST /codenull/ai/api/v1/evaluate-website
