Static Site with Global CDN — Azure Architecture Template
Jamstack site served from the edge with a serverless API backend and Cosmos DB content store.
Why this architecture works
- Static assets served from CDN edge nodes cut latency and remove web servers from the attack surface
- Serverless Functions API scales to zero, so a content site costs almost nothing at idle
- Custom domain managed in Azure DNS keeps certificate and CNAME lifecycle in one plane
- Function secrets are pulled from Key Vault via managed identity, not connection strings
- Application Insights tracks real-user performance from edge to API
