Azure App Service is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for building, deploying, and scaling web applications and APIs. Unlike VMs, you don't manage the underlying infrastructure — Azure handles patching, load balancing, and scaling for you.
App Service lets you host web apps, REST APIs, and mobile backends in the language and framework of your choice without managing virtual machines. You deploy your code (or container) and Azure runs it.
| Feature | Description |

| Multi-language | .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, and custom containers |
| Auto-scaling | Scale out (add instances) and scale up (increase instance size) |
| Built-in CI/CD | Deploy from GitHub, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, or local Git |
| Custom domains & SSL | Bring your own domain and manage TLS certificates |

| VNet integration | Connect to resources in your virtual network |
