Azure App Service

$ BudgetFree · Last reviewed July 2026

Azure App Service is Microsoft's managed platform for hosting web apps, APIs, and containers, positioned as the Azure peer of Google App Engine. It runs .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and PHP workloads with built-in autoscale, deployment slots for staged rollouts, and deep Visual Studio and GitHub integration. A free F1 plan exists for development, with paid plans priced per plan-hour. It suits Microsoft-ecosystem teams that want managed web hosting without container orchestration.
