From Bubble to Xano + Weweb vs Azure

Hello fellow Xano developers,

I have a few questions and concerns regarding the compatibility and advantages of using a stack consisting of Xano and Weweb compared to custom development in Azure.

Allow me to introduce myself and provide some context. I am a co-founder of Syncdesk, a startup working on a platform for internal communication and operation management tailored for frontline workers in the hotel industry. Currently, we have developed our minimum viable product (MVP) using Bubble. However, we are encountering some challenges related to compliance (GDPR), scalability, and the potential complexity of migrating to a more scalable foundation for future development.

We have started gaining traction and receiving early validation for our service and business model. As a result, we are planning to relaunch our platform in a new environment that offers greater scalability and compliance.

We have been in contact with Microsoft through their startup program, as they possess significant experience and resources in the Enterprise B2B SaaS space. During our participation in their SaaS event, we were introduced to their Azure SaaS framework kit, which serves as a best practice architecture for handling tenants, user identity, onboarding, and administration.

Now, onto my questions:

  1. Is it possible and advisable to initially build a temporary stack using Xano and Weweb, with the intention of migrating to an Azure microservice architecture at a later stage? Alternatively, should we invest our efforts in building the foundation directly in a fully Azure environment, utilizing services like Azure container apps?

Additionally, I have some related questions:

  1. Does the combination of Xano and Weweb support the separation of app, permission, and tenant data, similar to Azure's architecture with its control plane, identity framework, and end user application?
  2. Can Xano and Weweb integrate with Azure AD, facilitating an easier migration to the Azure environment in the future?

I appreciate any insights and guidance you can provide regarding these questions. Thank you in advance!
