AZ-204
Azure Developer

Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate

The AZ-204 is the developer's Azure cert — built for engineers who write code that runs in the cloud. Azure Developers design, build, test, and maintain cloud applications and services on Azure using APIs, SDKs, Azure CLI, and infrastructure-as-code tools. This cert covers App Service, Functions, Cosmos DB SDK, Blob Storage SDK, containerization, API Management, Event Grid, message queues, caching, and CDN — basically every Azure service you'd touch while building a production web application. For partners pursuing the Solutions Partner for Digital & App Innovation designation, AZ-204 holders are essential team members. The $5,000/year incentive value and the fact that every modern partner engagement involves custom development make this one of the most practical certs in the ecosystem. With 444 practice questions, CERTIFY-Pro covers the full developer workflow from writing Azure Functions to implementing authentication with MSAL to deploying containerized apps — the real-world skills that the exam is designed to validate.
