On May 12, 2021, the Azure Static Web Apps service hit a significant milestone - becoming generally available with support for many of the popular front-end frameworks and static site generators used for modern web app development.

On May 12, 2022, Azure Static Web Apps will make the first-year anniversary of that milestone - making this the perfect time to look back on all the progress made, and look ahead to what's in store next.

Celebrate with #SWAanniversary​

On May 19, 2022, join us live on Learn TV for a 2-hour celebration with some of our favorite speakers and guests from both Microsoft and the larger developer community. Can you tell we're excited for this birthday?
