This document summarizes Starbucks' use of Azure services to power their Workforce Management solution. Some key points: - Starbucks leverages App Service on Azure to create a scalable and resilient platform for their Workforce Management solution. - They are able to leverage existing Spring Boot modules with minor modifications and deploy to Azure, reducing need for rearchitecture. - Automation and infrastructure as code allows them to shorten infrastructure deployment time from 3 months to 3.5 minutes. - The managed platform of App Service increases productivity as technical teams no longer have to maintain infrastructure.
