I love using replit for designing and building applications. I was just using Replit to generate examples and prototypes for my Dev team. I now realize that for some scenarios the applications I have developed could be used in a production role with clients. Unfortunately, since we do not have a BAA signed with Replit I need to always use de identified data to build applications. Then I need to submit the application to my team to deploy it in our secure Azure environment. Two questions, 1 will Replit sign a HIPAA BAA and 2. is there an easier way to deploy applications to Azure. The process is complicated enough that I need my DevOps team to do it.  
Thanks!

I work in healthcare with Replit. NEVER put PHI in Replit.

Use GitHub actions to setup a CI/DI pipeline that pushes to azure.

You can give Replit your API keys for both and it will set them up.

Let me know if you have questions on the topic.

What type of biz is it?

What would be helpful for me to cover?

On this project, I have 4 separate actions:

1. **ci-test** — Runs automatically on every push. Handles the fast feedback loop: type checking, linting, dependency audit, 16-shard tests with coverage, build, and integration tests. No analysis or deploy.

2. **ci-full** — Manual trigger only. Runs everything from ci-test plus CodeQL security analysis and SonarCloud code quality scan.

3. **ci-deploy** — Manual trigger only. Runs everything from ci-full, and if all checks pass, deploys to ECS.

4. **ci-deploy-only** — Manual trigger only. A troubleshooting escape hatch that skips all tests and analysis, and just builds and deploys to ECS.

Action 1 is taken every time Replit makes a commit. It is way faster to run my tests in CI than in Replit. (I have thousands of tests.)
