It's time to celebrate! 🎉

Azure Static Web Apps became [generally available](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-static-web-apps-is-now-generally-available/?WT.mc_id=30daysofswa-61155-cxall) on **May 12, 2021**, launching a turnkey service for modern full-stack web apps with pre-built and pre-rendered static front-ends, and serverless API backends. That was nearly a year ago!

## Celebrate with #SWAanniversary

On **May 19, 2022**, join us live on [Learn TV](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/tv/?WT.mc_id=30daysofswa-61155-cxall) for a 2-hour  celebration of the first SWA Anniversary! The event will also be livestreamed to Twitter, Twitch and YouTube on the [Microsoft Developer](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsMica-v34Irf9KVTh6xx-g) channel.


We'll be hanging out with our favorite speakers and guests from both Microsoft and the larger developer community. Can you tell we're excited for this milestone?

We've got a number of familiar faces from Microsoft, but I'm most excited to hear from the developer community (about their projects) and from the Azure Static Web Apps team (about what's next!)
