Moving Azure infrastructure from Terraform to Bicep is less about converting HCL files and more about replacing a state-file workflow with a deployment-based one. This field guide covers when migration pays off, inventorying tfstate, incremental coexistence patterns, the decompile tooling that exists, deployment stacks as the lifecycle answer, and the what-if validation and rollback discipline that keeps the cutover safe.

Next.js 16.3 shipped on 3 August 2026 with build disk caching on by default, up to 90% lower dev-server memory through eviction, TypeScript 7 type checking, and native Node.js streams that handle up to 22% more SSR requests under load. Here is what an Azure-hosted enterprise app gains from the upgrade, how to verify the wins in your own CI pipeline, and a decision guide for the opt-in Instant Navigations suite.

TypeScript 7.0 reached general availability on 8 July 2026 with the Go-native compiler, cutting full builds by 8x to 12x and memory use by up to a quarter on Microsoft's published benchmarks. The release ships without a stable programmatic API until 7.1, which blocks typescript-eslint, framework template checking and Next.js detection, so the right move depends on which of three migration profiles your repo fits.

The honest cost model for self-hosted GitHub Actions runners on Azure — break-even math against hosted runners, when self-hosting is a trap, and the ephemeral scaleset architecture that keeps them safe in production.
