Overview

This project showcases a simple, secure, and scalable infrastructure design for a web service on Azure that can handle 1000 requests per second (RPS), integrates with external services, and uses a SQL database.

• Azure SQL Database - Scalable and managed SQL backend with geo-replication.
• Azure API Management - Handles external service integrations securely.
• Azure Key Vault - Manages secrets and sensitive data.
• Azure Front Door (Optional) - Global load balancing and WAF.
