Hey folks, I'm working on a SaaS application where each customer has their own subdomain. My frontend is a single-page application that I want to host on Azure, but I'm looking for a smooth and automated solution. I'm struggling to find one that supports wildcard domains. For instance, while Azure Static Web Apps is a great option, it doesn't support wildcard domains. Azure Front Door requires a user-provided SSL wildcard certificate, and using Azure App Service with their managed wildcard certificate is pretty pricey. I'm considering spinning up Static Web Apps dynamically and assigning subdomains using infrastructure as code. Any other suggestions or tips?

You might want to think about getting a one-year wildcard SSL certificate and importing it into Azure Front Door. It can make the process smoother. Alternatively, using Cloudflare and hosting your apps behind it could be a game changer for you set-up.
That sounds like extra manual work since the certificate would need renewing annually. Not sure if that's the best route to go.
