About:
Azure Developer CLI (azd) is a command-line tool designed to streamline the development and deployment of applications on Azure. It provides a unified interface for managing Azure resources, provisioning infrastructure, and deploying code, reducing the complexity of cloud development workflows. Its main value proposition is accelerating the end-to-end developer experience from local development to production deployment on Azure.

Key Features:

Unified CLI for Azure development and deployment
Infrastructure as Code provisioning with Bicep or Terraform
Integrated CI/CD pipeline setup and management
Local development environment emulation
Multi-service application orchestration

Use Cases:

Rapid prototyping and deployment of full-stack applications on Azure
Managing and updating existing Azure resources and applications from the command line

Alternatives:

Azure CLI – General-purpose Azure management; azd is more focused on developer workflows and app lifecycle.
Terraform – Infrastructure provisioning only; azd includes deployment and dev tooling.
