Companies that use Azure Application Gateway

I noticed Azure Application Gateway users span an unusually wide range of industries, but they share a common thread: they're organizations with significant digital footprints serving large populations. These aren't tech companies building software products. Instead, they're healthcare systems treating millions of patients annually, restaurant groups operating hundreds of locations, major retailers with extensive store networks, banks managing customer transactions, educational institutions serving thousands of students, and food manufacturers distributing globally. They're brick-and-mortar businesses that have become heavily digitized.

These are definitively mature enterprises. The employee counts tell the story clearly: most have 500+ employees, with many in the 1,000-5,000+ range. They reference decades of operation, extensive physical infrastructure, regulatory compliance requirements, and complex stakeholder relationships. The few smaller companies included are typically subsidiaries of larger organizations or specialized service providers operating in regulated industries. There are almost no venture-backed startups or high-growth tech companies in this mix.
