In the fast-evolving world, connecting and synchronizing data across various platforms is key. This article will guide you through connecting a Neon.Tech Postgres database to Azure AI Search

Home Assistant is a powerful open source platform for home automation. For hosting, the use of a Linux VM in Azure and Docker is a good option.

In this last part of my series on building a SaaS solution using Next.js 14 and Azure, we will focus on the payment integration with Stripe so that you can ask for a subscription, etc.

In the third story, we will use our Next.js app to get the Azure AD B2C Access Token to create Resources on Azure via the App Service created initially.

In this final part of our series on building a SaaS solution using Next.js 14 and Azure, we will focus on the critical aspect of managing Azure Storage Accounts.

In the previous story, we created a Linux App Service instance in the F1 plan. Now, we have to secure the App Service so that only authorized requests are accepted. We use Azure AD B2C.

In the next few posts, I will guide you through building a SaaS solution on Azure (Blob Storage, App Services, Azure Functions, Azure AD B2C, etc.).

I will show you how you can delete and/or update your data within the Azure AD B2C Directory and your PostgreSQL DB at Neon.tech with ease using Prisma ORM/REST

I will show you how easy it is to access your data in your Azure AD B2C Tenant via REST so that you can integrate it into your Next.js 14 project. We will extend our Prisma schema as well.

We will focus on possible Identity providers for our Azure B2C Tenant because we would like to remove every obstacle for our users during the login process. Let's start with the main ones.

After integrating it into our Next.js 14 project, we will style the signup and sign-in page provided by Azure AD B2C to look nicer.

We will focus on integrating this tenant into a full-fledged Next.js 14 project. As a template, we will take the example that we created in the previous stories

One part is still missing for our fully-fledged blog project based on Next.js 14, Contentful and Algolia. And that is user registration and login (authentication and authorization), which is essential nowadays. We will use AD B2C.

In the previous five stories, I showed the step-by-step creation of a Next.js 14 app that can be used to create Azure Resources via App Service. Now, we added the payment option with Stripe.

I want to track login attempts to support users if they face issues and to understand better what is going on during login. Azure offers a smart way to implement some logic.

I will show you how fast you can add a clap function to your blog posts. We use Upstash Redis as our serverless DB, Next.js 14 for the App, and Azure AD B2C with Next-Auth

Let's build a nice-looking upload form with Next.js 14. We will integrate a dropzone and the capability to upload multiple files simultaneously with a fancy upload progress bar.

I let a 40-line Python script reshuffle my whole home-automation config — but only because a second script proved it didn't lose a single automation along the way.

Why your KNX thermostat ignores the temperature you set in Home Assistant — the five HVAC preset modes, the snap-back that looks like a bug, and how I automate them.

My Huawei SDongle accepts exactly one Modbus connection — but Home Assistant, the AC·THOR and evcc all want the inverter's data. Here's the ~300-line asyncio cache server I wrote to feed all of them from a single quiet poll.

In this story, we’ll explore HACS (Home Assistant Community Store), why it’s a game-changer, and how to get started with it.

There are several ways to manage content (Creating, updating, deleting, and delivering content). Let’s do a deep dive into this CMS's REST capabilities.

Ensuring system availability is crucial for any product. Implementing rate limiting effectively addresses these issues and can be integrated seamlessly.

Integrating social share buttons on your blog post can significantly increase reach and visibility by making it easy for readers to share, boosting traffic and providing social proof

We know, Google Crawler is not a big fan of infinite scrolling because it can't use Javascript. Therefore, we need to add a crawler-friendly solution to find and index all pages properly.

A slugify function is valuable for creating clean, readable, and SEO-friendly URLs that enhance user experience. To round up the service offering, we add a Word/Character count as well

A broken link checker is crucial for maintaining website health and user experience. It helps identify and fix dead links, which can frustrate users and negatively impact SEO rankings.

An up-to-date sitemap.xml builds the foundation for the Google Crawler. We will create a count function to check the sitemap.xml. This will help us to check if all pages are present.

An HTML sitemap lists and links to all pages on a website, providing an organized overview of its structure. Search engines benefit from HTML sitemaps as they ensure all pages are discovered

I'm using Next.js 14 with the new app router, but instead of storing the page views in a relational database like PostgreSQL, I'll be using Upstash Redis so add this nice feature

As your blog grows, you may need a function like "Load more" or "Infinite scroll." I will focus on that and show how easy it is with Next.js 14, Server Actions, and Contentful as CMS.

You plan to start a new business where you need to present your new products to a broader audience on a marketing website. Here you will find a complete guide.

In Part 5, we will add multilanguage support and a language switcher to our example Blog powered by Contentful and the GraphQL API. (Client/Server Components)

I reviewed my notes on Confluence, where I created hundreds of pages with sometimes meaningful and sometimes (after years) content without any sense because of the missing or forgotten context. I had the feeling that all these notes should be shared with others because I can remember all the sweat and patience, which I invested in collecting the content.

Now we have reached part 3 and we will add a header and a footer component, as well as the so-called draft/preview functionality offered by Contentful. Not to forget the nowadays mandatory dark mode toggle.

Let's dig deeper and build a nice UI on our Nextjs foundation with the help of Tailwindcss/Contentful
