We use Azure Web Apps for our Front End and some big data processing needs: for the monolith and some microservices. Also we host APIs over them. Web Apps offer an easy to use platform for creating and modifying our code in a seamless way across different stages of our data ingestion-processing-and offering for the customers.
- Extremely easy to deploy and update from Visual Studio
- It integrates seamlessly with other Azure PaaS resources
- It has an in-depth integration with AppInsights, so you can understand errors and their root cause easily.
- Easy to create and delete, what is not the same case in a IaaS resource
- It escalates based on CPU workload and some other resource variables.
- Configuration changes are almost immediate
- Offers an excellent abstraction from hardware backend of the platform
- That's updated very often, saving time and the risk of a self-performed update over a IaaS
- That's really easy to develop for Web Apps
- It supports Function Apps and Web Apps into the same "cost black box"
- Irrationally expensive
- High latency and poor response times in heavy workloads
- Some updates lead to failures and crashes of hosted apps
- Tech support starts defending Microsoft rather than helping you to get rid of a production failure
- That's easy to have a peak cost with automatic resources escalation.
- Lacks of spent money limits for escalation
- Unnecessary deprecation of runtimes that makes the platform less interesting for complex applications that can't be updated periodically
- Every single minor feature that's an spending. For example, a basic firewall.

- When workload was medium-low and medium-high it escalated and performed in a very good way. We saved a lot of time and a specialized role for managing it. Also, compared to an IaaS solution, was reasonably expensive.
- Many platform issues on 2020 caused problems with our business. Downtime was reimbursed, but some customers were lost and churn grew.
- Using AppServices and Web Apps as a Big Data processing platform was not a good idea, specially when data volumes grew and every escalation in resources was 2x of the previous stage cost.
AppServices that's easier to manage than its competitors, specially if you have everything in Azure. But also that's the most expensive service when you escalate or start using it for massive data processing. It would be an excellent containers platform if were easier to deal with its costs.
Regarding Apache and AKS, also I must mention the required level of manual maintenance that's a key point. If you wont have internally or via consulting a specialized role, AppServices that's the best choice.

Easy and simple platform to deploy the web apps
Score 9 out of 10

We used it to teach the students who bought the course how to use the web app and where to use. We helped them to deploy the projects on Azure. Also we helped them to get the student packs and Azure credits so it may be helpful for them to deploy their projects without the need of credit cards!
- Very simple and easy development process
- Azure provide the built-in security for the web apps
- The application can handle the high traffics
- The Azure is providing little less amount of data centers, so they can increase the data centers.
- Customized development; Azure needs to provide some more options to customize
- Some of the essential things about the viewers and logs must be provided. Currently I feel they are putting limit on monitoring.
- It provides Built-in security
- Very easy to use, Anyone can use it with little guidelines.
- Support of multiple programming languages , frameworks etc

Azure is some what easy to use and we can learn the azure platform easily. And mainly for students they are giving free credits. So by using the credits we can learn or deploy using that credit
The ASP NET Core apps were deployed using Azure App Service. Multiple programs were installed and utilized by the entire company. Having the ability to launch our apps directly from Visual Studio was a huge time-saver. The Azure site or the Azure command-line interface allowed us to make the necessary adjustments.
- Visual Studio makes it an easy to deploy an app.
- The Azure CLI and the Azure Portal are the two most convenient ways to interact with the cloud.
- There's no need to worry about server upkeep. We could simply increase our capacity by changing a few gateway settings.
- Like Heroku's dynos, abstraction of computing resources.
- The total size of the Azure Portal has a negative impact on the management of Azure App Service apps.
- The cost of making large transitions in the size of a resource is high.
- Auto scaling.
- Azure Kubernetes.
- CI/CD pipelines for DevOps development.

- Deployment of ASP.NET apps at the organization has been sped up.
- An option to offer access to the version control system on a third platform so that we could easily deploy our apps.
- Because of Azure App Service's scalability capabilities, the costs of running the services are kept to a minimum. As a result, we may save hundreds of dollars each month compared to the expenses of traditional servers by using fewer resources during slack periods.
In terms of deploying your apps, Azure App Service provides a solid foundation. You may use either the Azure command-line interface or the Web Portal to administer these apps. As a whole, I find You may easily deploy your apps to Azure App Service to be a really difficult platform for novices to get their feet wet. First and foremost, I'd look at Heroku's user interface and the way it abstracts compute units.

scalable and secured cloud Apps within Azure
We use Azure App Service for our full cloud-based website's new version. We use it to deploy both production and QA versions of the site, so that we don't have to manage website infrastructure, including on-premise web servers and security equipment. We use it alongside other Azure services, including storage, CDN, DB...
- scalability works very well
- integration with other Azure services
- highly secured
- the learning curve can be tough (just like other azure services)
- the UX/UI could be more intuitive (just like other azure services as well)
- monitoring can be hard to understand
- Microsoft's learning resources are hard to understand
- ON demand (and planned) scalability
- easy Azure devops integration
- easy configuration (for experimented azure dev) including Azure CDN linking

- deployment time reduction
- infrastructure management costs reduction
- site performance/availability improved
We didn't use other App services because we use Azure as our cloud provider and our first experience was with Azure App Service
