An eCommerce website is a very complicated endeavor. Take a look at this open source eCommerce solution to see just how complicated it is.

There are two ways to deploy the app on Azure. I don't find nopCommerce in the Azure app gallery as of now though. So I have tried FTP deployment and app publishing from Visual Studio. The best way is to publish it from Visual Studio. FTP deployment takes too long to transfer files to Azure. That may be due to the app service plan, which has basic hardware performance. But the file transfer is quicker with the Visual Studio deployment. I can either clone the app from nopCommerce's GitHub site or download it from releases to do FTP deployment. To publish from Visual Studio, I need to download publish profile from Azure App Service. In Visual Studio, when you publish the app, you can just import the publish profile that you downloaded from Azure app service.

> Can you point me to a codebase that does not use comments, as a model of how that looks in practice?

Once we actively encourage comments, this is what we get. It was totally unnecessary -

https://github.com/nopSolutions/nopCommerce/blob/develop/src...

I welcome this type of comments which state the obvious and goes beyond what the code in front of you can state -

"// If every heap's gen2 or gen3 size is less than this threshold we will do a blocking GC."

If you want to use with the latest .NetCore c# code you could look at https://www.nopcommerce.com which is a great open source developers platform

As a test I just cloned https://github.com/nopSolutions/nopCommerce

You may notice that there isn't a lot of documentation when you look at the GitHub repository that houses Miniblog. However, you can install a template so you can build it using Visual Studio by following the steps in the readme file, but be careful because this won't give you the most recent version. You can also check out its features by visiting a link to an example site created with Miniblog and published on Azure.
