Azure OpenAI Integration in Durham
Connecting Durham applications to Azure OpenAI, where you do not call a model — you call your deployment of one. Each deployment is a named resource with its own throughput allocation, so capacity is something you provision and divide between applications rather than a shared pool that simply absorbs demand.
Why this comes up
The problem
Two applications share one deployment, the batch job runs, and the customer-facing feature starts returning throttling errors.
What you get
What we deliver
- Deployments separated per application, so one cannot starve another
- Throughput allocated against measured demand rather than divided evenly
- Throttling handled with backoff, since exceeding your allocation is normal
- Deployment names abstracted in configuration, not embedded across the code
- Model version upgrades planned, as deployments pin to specific versions
- Managed identity used in place of keys wherever the platform allows

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Azure OpenAI Integration in Durham — common questions
- Why separate deployments per application?
- Because throughput is allocated to the deployment. Sharing one means a batch process consuming its allocation leaves nothing for an interactive feature, and the user-facing service fails for reasons that have nothing to do with its own traffic.
- How is capacity allocated?
- You assign it, within what your subscription has been granted. That makes capacity planning a real exercise — measuring what each application consumes and dividing deliberately rather than discovering the split through production incidents.
- What happens when a model version is retired?
- Deployments pin to a version, and versions are eventually retired on a published schedule. That gives you notice, and it means somebody has to be watching for it — otherwise the first sign is a deployment that stops working.
- Should we use keys or managed identity?
- Managed identity where the calling service supports it. It removes a credential from your configuration entirely, which is both more secure and less work than rotating keys across every application that holds one. Keys remain necessary for callers outside Azure, and those are worth treating as the exception to be inventoried rather than the normal way in.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
