ecc course platform has launched!

my biggest contract yet, the ecc course platform has launched this morning.

management has told me that they are ready to start the onboarding process, meaning one of my apps have finally broken the "1 active user that is not me" milestone.

before launch, i've moved the entire project from a container app to a basic app service instance, to ensure consistent uptime and a more predictable pricing plan that suits our budget.

management has already been onboarded prior to this, courses are ready, awaiting users.
