 The local development environment mimics Azure SQL Database, allowing developers to manage data and test applications efficiently. Once ready, **GitHub Actions** automate the deployment process, transitioning seamlessly to **Azure Static Web Apps** and **Azure SQL Database**. This streamlined workflow enhances productivity, reduces setup time, and ensures consistency between local and production environments, helping developers deliver high-quality applications faster.

 The `ports` property in `docker-compose.yml` [publishes](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/#published-ports) rather than forwards the port. This configuration couldn't work in a cloud environment like Codespaces and applications need to listen to `*` or `0.0.0.0` for the application to be accessible externally. Fortunately the `forwardPorts` property doesn't have this limitation.
