We'll use the following tools and services in this chapter:
- GitHub: This chapter assumes that the source code for our app is hosted on GitHub. An account and repository can be set up for free at https://github.com.
- Azure DevOps: We will use this to implement and host our CI and CD processes. This can be found at https://dev.azure.com/.
- Microsoft Azure: We will use the Azure app services and SQL databases that we set up in the previous chapter. The Azure portal can be found at https://portal.azure.com.
- Visual Studio Code: This can be downloaded and installed from https://code.visualstudio.com/.
- Node.js and npm: These can be downloaded from https://nodejs.org/. If you already have these installed, make sure that Node.js is at least version 8.2 and that npm is at least version 5.2.
- Q and A: We'll start with the Q and A frontend and backend projects we finished in the previous chapter, which are available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ASP.NET-Core-3-and-React-17.
All the code snippets in this chapter can be found online at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ASP.NET-Core-3-and-React-17. In order to restore code from a chapter, the source code repository can be downloaded and the relevant folder opened in the relevant editor. If the code is frontend code, then npm install can be entered in the Terminal to restore the dependencies.
