Building 24/7 AI Agents with Claude & Azure
Go from zero to production 24/7 agents on Azure. Deep dive into the Claude Agent SDK (Python & TypeScript) — the agent loop, built-in tools, hooks, subagents, MCP, and sessions. Set up Azure AI Foundry for model access, containerize agents with Docker, deploy to Azure Container Apps, and wire up queues, secrets, monitoring, and CI/CD. Build agents that run continuously, recover from failures, and scale under load.
