Platforms like Vercel and Netlify are excellent Front-end-as-a-Service” (FEaaS) providers for front-end applications and standard function execution. But a rendering host alone isn’t enough when you move into enterprise headless, where backend-for-frontend APIs, experience APIs, integration/data services, DevOps pipelines, security, observability and governance all come into play.

Arc is built for this next level. Delivered in your Azure tenant, it provides complete platform operations: rendering, APIs, integrations, DevOps, monitoring, security, and compliance. With Arc, you don’t just get a hosting layer, you get the full operating model and end-to-end support required to scale from simple sites to complex, multi-channel digital experiences.

Key advantages include:  

  • End-to-End Management: 24/7 monitoring, automated scaling, proactive resolution, and continuous security updates.
  • Enterprise DevOps: Deployment pipelines and monitoring across both the front end and CMS back end, always in sync.
  • Compliance by Design: Operating entirely within your Azure tenant ensures data residency, governance, and regulatory alignment.

In short, Arc ensures you’re not relying on a rendering host alone, but on a complete, enterprise-ready foundation with full platform operations and support.
