Built with Codex CLI? Deploy it to Microsoft Azure.
Step-by-step deployment help for Codex CLI-built apps on Microsoft Azure. We fix deployment issues, configure Microsoft Azure correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Codex CLI issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Codex CLI's code generation that affect Microsoft Azure deployments.
API keys and secrets written directly into generated source files
Codex CLI generates code with placeholder credentials that developers often replace with real values inline, leaving secrets committed to version control. There is no .env scaffolding or secret management setup by default.
No authentication or authorization on generated API endpoints
When Codex generates Express or FastAPI backends, routes are created without middleware for authentication, meaning every endpoint is publicly accessible immediately after deployment.
Single-file output breaks apart for any real project structure
Codex frequently outputs all logic into one or two files rather than organizing code into modules, services, and utilities — making the result hard to maintain and extend as the codebase grows.
Generated code lacks awareness of existing project context
Because Codex operates from a prompt without full codebase indexing, it generates code that duplicates existing utilities, ignores established conventions, and introduces conflicting patterns alongside your real code.
Microsoft Azure deployment issues we check for
Common Microsoft Azure problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
App Service plan on wrong pricing tier
AI tools provision Free or Basic tier App Service plans that lack autoscaling, custom domains, and SSL — causing issues when traffic grows beyond trivial levels.
CORS not configured on Azure Functions
Azure Functions require explicit CORS configuration in the portal or host.json. AI-generated frontends fail silently when API calls are blocked by missing CORS headers.
Managed Identity not used for service connections
AI-generated code embeds connection strings and secrets directly in environment variables instead of using Azure Managed Identity for secure, keyless authentication.
Deployment slots not configured for zero-downtime
Production deployments happen directly to the main slot, causing downtime during each deploy. Staging slots are available but never configured by AI tools.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a Codex CLI-built app to Microsoft Azure?
Yes. We regularly deploy Codex CLI-generated projects to Microsoft Azure. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on Microsoft Azure.
What Microsoft Azure issues do Codex CLI projects typically have?
Codex CLI projects commonly have api keys and secrets written directly into generated source files and no authentication or authorization on generated api endpoints. When deploying to Microsoft Azure, these combine with platform-specific issues like app service plan on wrong pricing tier and cors not configured on azure functions.
How do I get my Codex CLI project live on Microsoft Azure?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Codex CLI-built projects targeting Microsoft Azure, the typical path is: fix Codex CLI-specific code issues, configure Microsoft Azure settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Codex CLI app to Microsoft Azure?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Codex CLI codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Microsoft Azure correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
