By using Azure Pipelines for his DevOps pipeline and GitHub to store his source code, Brown has been conducting a series of Web3 experiments and documenting the results https://betterprogramming.pub/building-a-devops-pipeline-for-the-ethereum-blockchain-3d30cba87ffb.

So first off, why is Microsoft interested in blockchain applications — aka Web3 — given the https://thenewstack.io/web3-isnt-fully-decentralized-a-look-at-alchemy-bitclout/ that the crypto industry has received from many in the developer community?

According to Brown, using the above process gives Web3 developers the validation needed for a safe deployment to mainnet.

He said that Microsoft’s partner in Web3, ConsenSys, is “moving a lot of their Infura networks over to Azure.”
