Azure runbook

One-shot the same Bench Ticket demo as Local Docker on Azure: first-party email-code login, Sessions, Support Desk create/list/reply, Health. Record store is @pegma/storage-azure-tables. Provision a Blob container for @pegma/storage-azure-blob (the demo does not store attachments). Mail is a console catcher on container logs — do not sign up for ACS, SES, SendGrid, or Resend.

Do not add Stripe, Auth0, Entra, or passkeys-required login. Entra is an IdP adapter for hosts that already authenticate with Entra; this demo uses @pegma/identity email codes.

Fixture: recipes/bench-ticket. Reuse the Node host (host.ts) with the store factory swapped to Azure Tables — same createBenchTicketComposition.

Prerequisites

• Git, Docker (to build the existing demo image), Node 22/24 with Corepack.
• Azure account.
• Authenticated Azure CLI: az account show must print a subscription. If it fails: az login and complete the browser flow.

1. Get the source

git clone https://github.com/pegma-dev/pegma.dev.git
cd pegma.dev
git checkout main
npm install -g corepack
corepack enable
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

2. Default names

3. Create Azure resources

az group create --name rg-bench-ticket --location eastus

az storage account create \
  --name stbenchticket$RANDOM \
  --resource-group rg-bench-ticket \
  --location eastus \
  --sku Standard_LRS

ACCOUNT=$(az storage account list -g rg-bench-ticket --query '[0].name' -o tsv)
CONN=$(az storage account show-connection-string -g rg-bench-ticket -n "$ACCOUNT" --query connectionString -o tsv)

az storage table create --name pegma --connection-string "$CONN"
az storage container create --name bench-ticket-blobs --connection-string "$CONN"

Save $CONN. Do not commit it.

4. Point the host at Azure Tables

The published demo host.ts uses createMemoryStore(). For Azure, add the published adapter and swap the factory. Exact packages (pin from catalog.json if these drifted):

pnpm add @pegma/storage-azure-tables@0.4.0 @azure/data-tables

In recipes/bench-ticket/host.ts, replace createMemoryStore() with:

import { TableClient, AzureNamedKeyCredential } from "@azure/data-tables";
import { createAzureTablesStore } from "@pegma/storage-azure-tables";

const account = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT!;
const key = process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY!;
const endpoint = `https://${account}.table.core.windows.net`;
const client = new TableClient(endpoint, "pegma", new AzureNamedKeyCredential(account, key));
const store = createAzureTablesStore({ client, createTableIfMissing: false });

Set BENCH_TICKET_MAIL_CATCHER=console so codes go to stdout (container logs), not Mailpit.

Keep createBenchTicketComposition({ store, origin, … }) unchanged.

5. Deploy the container

SECRET=$(node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('base64'))")
ACCOUNT=$(az storage account list -g rg-bench-ticket --query '[0].name' -o tsv)
KEY=$(az storage account keys list -g rg-bench-ticket -n "$ACCOUNT" --query '[0].value' -o tsv)

az acr create -g rg-bench-ticket -n benchticketacr$RANDOM --sku Basic
ACR=$(az acr list -g rg-bench-ticket --query '[0].name' -o tsv)
az acr login -n "$ACR"
IMAGE="${ACR}.azurecr.io/bench-ticket:local"
docker build -f recipes/bench-ticket/Dockerfile -t "$IMAGE" .
docker push "$IMAGE"

az containerapp env create -g rg-bench-ticket -n cae-bench-ticket -l eastus

# First create without origin, then set origin from the assigned FQDN.
# HMAC and the storage account key are Container Apps secrets, not plaintext env:
# `--secrets email-code-hmac=… storage-key=…` plus `secretref:`.
# `az containerapp show` returns the secret *name* and `secretRef`, not the values.
az containerapp create \
  -g rg-bench-ticket \
  -n ca-bench-ticket \
  --environment cae-bench-ticket \
  --image "$IMAGE" \
  --ingress external \
  --target-port 8787 \
  --registry-server "${ACR}.azurecr.io" \
  --secrets "email-code-hmac=$SECRET" "storage-key=$KEY" \
  --env-vars \
    BENCH_TICKET_MAIL_CATCHER=console \
    BENCH_TICKET_EMAIL_CODE_SECRET_BASE64=secretref:email-code-hmac \
    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT="$ACCOUNT" \
    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY=secretref:storage-key \
    PORT=8787

FQDN=$(az containerapp show -g rg-bench-ticket -n ca-bench-ticket --query properties.configuration.ingress.fqdn -o tsv)
ORIGIN="https://$FQDN"
az containerapp update -g rg-bench-ticket -n ca-bench-ticket \
  --set-env-vars "BENCH_TICKET_ORIGIN=$ORIGIN"

Identity requires the live HTTPS origin. Redeploy/update env after the FQDN exists.

6. Verify

ORIGIN=https://$(az containerapp show -g rg-bench-ticket -n ca-bench-ticket --query properties.configuration.ingress.fqdn -o tsv)
curl -sS "$ORIGIN/health"

Expect HTTP 200, "ok": true, "service": "bench-ticket".

az containerapp logs show -g rg-bench-ticket -n ca-bench-ticket --follow

Then the same begin / copy 8-digit code from logs / finish / file ticket / reply sequence as Local Docker, using $ORIGIN instead of http://localhost:8787. Log line prefix: [bench-ticket mail].

Failure signs

Teardown

az group delete --name rg-bench-ticket --yes --no-wait
rm -f /tmp/bench-ticket.cookies

That removes the storage account, table, blob container, ACR, and Container App.

Store wiring (same composition)

import { createAzureTablesStore } from "@pegma/storage-azure-tables";

const store = createAzureTablesStore({
  client,
  createTableIfMissing: false,
});

Hand that Store to createBenchTicketComposition. Blob: @pegma/storage-azure-blob + createAzureBlobStore({ containerClient }) when the host grows attachments; this demo’s ticket round-trip does not need it.
