How to create an App Service Application and upload into it (WEB APP)

App Service Application

Azure App Service is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft Azure designed for building, deploying, and scaling web applications, RESTful APIs, and mobile backends. With App Service, developers can quickly set up applications in multiple languages (such as .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and PHP) and benefit from built-in features like load balancing, autoscaling, and integration with Azure DevOps for continuous deployment.

App Service also provides enhanced security with authentication and authorization options, as well as custom domain support and SSL certificates. It’s ideal for businesses that want to focus on building and improving their apps without managing the underlying infrastructure. Additionally, App Service offers both development and production environments, making it easy to streamline application lifecycle management.
