Real-Time React App CI/CD Implementation with Azure DevOps Classic Pipelines
In this video, I demonstrate how I created an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline for a React application using Azure DevOps Classic Editor and Azure App Service.
This is a practical, real-time implementation, where I show each step exactly how it is done in real projects, starting from Azure DevOps portal, moving to Azure Portal, and finally deploying the React application.

📌 What I did in this video (Complete Step-by-Step Flow)
🔹 Step 1: Azure DevOps Portal – Create Repository
Logged in to Azure DevOps portal
Created a new Azure DevOps project
Created Azure Repos (Git)
Uploaded my React application source code into Azure Repos
🔹 Step 2: Create CI Pipeline (Build Pipeline – Classic Editor)
Went to Pipelines → Builds
Selected Classic Editor
Connected Azure Repos as source
Configured build steps:
Installed Node.js
Ran npm install
Ran npm run build
Generated production build
Published build artifacts
👉 This CI pipeline ensures the React app is automatically built whenever code is updated
🔹 Step 3: Azure Portal – Create Web App Service
Logged in to Azure Portal
Created a Resource Group
Created an Azure App Service (Web App)
Selected runtime & region
Prepared the Web App for deployment
🔹 Step 4: Service Connection Setup
Went back to Azure DevOps
Created a Service Connection
Connected Azure DevOps with Azure Portal
Granted required permissions
Verified secure communication between DevOps and Azure
👉 This step is mandatory for deploying from DevOps to Azure
🔹 Step 5: Create CD Pipeline (Release Pipeline – Classic Editor)
Navigated to Pipelines → Releases
Created Release Pipeline using Classic Editor
Linked Build Artifacts
Selected Azure App Service deployment task
Configured:
Subscription
Resource Group
Web App name
Enabled continuous deployment trigger
🔹 Step 6: Deployment & Validation
Triggered the release pipeline
Deployed React build to Azure App Service
Verified application URL
Checked live React app running successfully
