Azure App Service

Microsoft Azure App Service is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering that enables developers to build, deploy, and scale web apps, mobile backends, RESTful APIs, and logic apps without managing underlying infrastructure. It supports multiple languages and frameworks including .NET, .NET Core, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby, with built-in features like continuous deployment from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket, auto-scaling, load balancing, and seamless integration with Azure services such as Azure Active Directory, SQL Database, and Application Insights.

The platform simplifies DevOps workflows through staging environments, custom domains, SSL certificates, and global distribution via Azure Traffic Manager. Ideal for enterprises and startups alike, Azure App Service reduces operational overhead while ensuring high availability, security compliance (including ISO, SOC, and PCI standards), and cost efficiency through consumption-based pricing and free tiers for testing.
