WebApp with Cosmos DB

A sample webapp deployed on app service with cosmos db as database. It counts the number of visitors visiting the page and inserts the same into a sample collection in Cosmos DB.

Installation

  1. In your terminal window, log into Azure and set a subscription(subscription which would contain the webapp) :

     az login
     az account set -s mySubscriptionName
    
  2. Clone the sample application's source repository. The sample application is a Node.js app consisting of an Azure App Service web component and a Cosmos DB database. The repo also contains a PowerShell script that deploys the sample app to your Azure subscription.

     git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/nodejs-appsvc-cosmosdb-bottleneck.git
    
  3. Deploy the sample app using the PowerShell script. (Tip: macOS users can install PowerShell here)

     cd SampleApp
     .\deploymentscript.ps1
    
  4. You will be prompted to supply a unique application name and a location (default is eastus). A resource group for the resources would be created with the same name.

  5. Once deployment is complete, browse to the running sample application with your browser.

     https://<app_name>.azurewebsites.net
    

Clean up resources

You may want to delete the resources to avoid to continue incurring charges. Use the az group delete command to remove the resource group and all related resources.

    az group delete --name myResourceGroup

Similarly, you can utilize the Delete resource group toolbar button on the sample application's resource group to remove all the resources.
