Need Help Deploying Python MVP to Azure – Advisor or Support Path?

Question

Hi everyone, I’m a non-technical founder in the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub and I’ve received $5,000 in Azure credits. I’ve built my MVP in Python using Streamlit and want to deploy it on Azure using containers (App Service or Container Apps).

I’m looking for guidance on:

How to get started with container deployment

How to replace local file storage with Azure Blob

How to store training completions (right now it’s just session state)

Where should I go in the Founders Hub dashboard to book a 1:1 session with a Microsoft advisor or get direct technical help? Any pointers would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much! — Kelly

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Getting started with containers:

Please take a moment to read through the links below for the container deployment.

Azure Blob Storage Integration

You could install the storage blob SDK in your Python application and use it to upload the files

pip install azure-storage-blob

from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient

connect_str = "<your_connection_string>"
container_name = "streamlit-uploads"
blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient.from_connection_string(connect_str)
blob_client = blob_service_client.get_blob_client(container=container_name, blob="your_file.csv")

with open("your_file.csv", "rb") as data:
    blob_client.upload_blob(data, overwrite=True)
