I've got a project running locally: ICM workspace, Claude CLI as the coding/execution agent. Local tests are solid and I've already demoed progress to the client. Now I need to take it to production, and I want to get the deployment right before I bolt on a frontend, databases, logging, and alerts. My current plan (Azure): - Container App running the FastAPI backend + Claude CLI - Azure Files mounted as the working folder for the agent's session/workspace - Managed Identity for auth (no stored secrets) - Container Registry for the image - Foundry for the base LLM Has anyone deployed something like this in production? Not looking to over-engineer this, just want the deployment shape to be sound before I layer the rest of the product on top.

I feel like Anthropic's engineering blog is not receiving enough attention. So I wanted to bring it up again for those of you who missed it. The blog contains compressed, straight-forward knowledge that is a result of many customer interactions. Topics include: - Evaluating agents - Making your code environment transition to having longer sessions - Writing skills - What is it like to enable Claude Code for customers And many others... It is pure gold. If you haven't checked it out, put it in your To-Do list Link: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering

Resource: awwwards[dot]com and many others I had to knock up a website in a hurry with Claude Code. I needed inspiration, fast. I went to lots of pages, nearly got overwhelmed, but finally I think settled on a design brief I liked. These resources are great.

In 2021 and 2022 I was selling conversational ai (about $12,500 90 day pilots) to business with high value clients (think lawyers, HVAC, RE, mortgage brokers, etc) The thing that you have to take into account is the customer's awareness ladder (Eugene Schwartz) and you have to figure out a way to get them to most aware. I saw the other day @Leonard Dauksza mentioned being out in Seattle, networking with large tech type companies and they didn't even know what ICM was... They're unaware. His messaging needs to start by moving them up the framework. If large tech companies are, what do you think SMB's are? I explain the difference in what @Jake Van Clief is doing, who he is selling too, and reframe it so you can sell it to small businesses. it's 2 different ponds that we're playing in. Unless you're an MSP already with clientelle, or an agency that has client's trust you earned, you need to come over to this pond...it's nice a warm here. In anything you're doing, just understanding the customer's journey will help you in your own marketing systems. I teach you how to get the business owner asking you about ICM the same way I do and did in 2021 2022 when "conversational ai for sales" was only being ran by 1 company. You learn to gain trust and make some extra scratch on the way (woosender.com still a company today). Let me know any questions or comments below...
