Azure Application Development for Microsoft-Centered Teams

Azure development is designing, building, and running applications on Microsoft Azure, from web apps and APIs to data and automation. Syndell helps CTOs and IT directors build on Azure with cost, identity, and security planned from the start, and steps in when the bill grows or releases keep failing.

When Clients Call Us Urgently

If one of these sounds familiar, this is where we step in.

We start with a review of your subscription, costs, security, and release process, then give you a written plan.

Your Azure Bill Keeps Growing and Nobody Knows Why

Idle resources, oversized databases, and forgotten test environments add up. We map costs to services, remove waste, and set budgets and alerts. Waste here comes out of your product budget.

Releases Are Manual and Break Often

Deployments done by hand cannot be repeated. We build automated pipelines and define infrastructure as code, so each release matches the last. Fragile releases slow every feature you ship.

A Security Review Found Broad Access and Weak Identity Setup

Shared credentials and wide roles are common findings. We apply least-privilege roles, Microsoft Entra ID sign-in, and Key Vault for secrets. These gaps put customer data and audits at risk.

The App Cannot Handle Peak Load

Single instances and slow databases fail under spikes. We add scaling rules, caching, and load tests before the event. A crash at peak time is expensive and public.

Azure Development Services

Six kinds of Azure development we deliver, for new builds and existing systems.

Web Apps, APIs, and AI Features

Applications on Azure App Service, Functions, or containers, built in .NET, Node.js, or other stacks. AI features use Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry), with Azure AI Search to ground answers in your own data.

Data and Databases

Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and storage, designed for your workload.

Identity and Security

Microsoft Entra ID sign-in, role-based access, Key Vault, and network controls.

DevOps and Pipelines

Automated builds and releases with Azure DevOps or GitHub, plus infrastructure as code. See DevOps implementation.

Migration

Move existing applications to Azure in stages. See cloud migration.

Cost, Monitoring, and Support

Budgets, Azure Monitor alerts, and ongoing fixes on a monthly retainer or on demand.

Highgrove

Ecommerce / Premium Bedding and ERP Order Management

Highgrove is a UK premium bedding brand that ran sales and orders on a desktop ERP. Manual order handling, inconsistent pricing, and weak access control called for a secure web app connected to its existing Sage system.

This clothing manufacturer does the hard part well – producing men’s apparel out of Ahmedabad, India, at real production scale. The existing system wasn’t carrying its weight: the Laravel and Angular codebase needed optimization, and inventory and sales features needed rebuilding for a more secure, user-centric experience.

The old process wasn’t carrying its weight: paralegals spent days downloading, converting, ordering, and indexing files by hand, with inconsistent naming that made documents hard to find later.

FAQs

How Much Does Azure Development Cost?

There are two costs: our development fees and your monthly Azure bill. Fees depend on features, architecture, integrations, security needs, and pipelines. The Azure bill depends on the services used, traffic, and data. We scope fees individually and estimate the Azure bill in the proposal.

How Long Does an Azure Project Take?

It depends on features, architecture, integrations, and compliance needs. We give a timeline after scoping and split it into milestones, so you see working services early. A migration is planned in stages, with a cutover plan agreed up front, so nothing surprises your users on switch day.

How Will We Keep Control of Our Azure Subscription and Costs?

The environment lives in your own Azure subscription, so you own it from day one. We agree overlap hours at kickoff and report through Slack, email, and video calls, and we share cost reports at each milestone. Syndell has offices in Middletown, Delaware, Manchester, UK, and Ahmedabad, India.

Is Windows Azure the Same as Microsoft Azure?

Yes. Microsoft renamed Windows Azure to Microsoft Azure in 2014. Azure now covers far more than Windows workloads, including Linux, containers, databases, and AI services. If you see “Windows Azure” in older material, it means the same cloud platform, though older articles may describe services that have since been renamed or replaced.

Can You Add AI Features to an Azure App?

Yes. Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry) offers Azure OpenAI models and an agent service, and Azure AI Search can ground answers in your own documents. We plan access with Entra ID, keep secrets in Key Vault, and forecast usage costs, since model calls are billed by use.

Can You Set Up Releases With Azure DevOps?

Yes. We build automated pipelines for builds, tests, and releases, and define infrastructure as code so environments match. We can use Azure DevOps or GitHub, depending on where your team already works, so you do not have to change tools just to get reliable releases.

Can You Move Our Existing Application to Azure?

Yes. We review the app and its dependencies, then recommend a lift-and-shift, a partial redesign, or a rebuild. Our cloud migration team plans the cutover and a rollback path, so users see as little downtime as possible and you can reverse course if something fails.
