Can Azure App Service be used to build a mobile app

Question

I want to build a mobile app on azure. Which Azure Service would be apt for it? Can I use Azure App Service for it? What advantages would I get if I use the Azure App service?

Answer 1

Azure App Service enables you to build and host web apps, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. 

It offers auto-scaling and high availability, supports both Windows and Linux, and enables automated deployments from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or any Git repo.

Azure App Service is an HTTP-based service for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile back ends. 

You can develop in your favorite language, be it .NET, .NET Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, or Python. 

Applications run and scale with ease on both Windows and Linux-based environments.

App Service not only adds the power of Microsoft Azure to your application, such as security, load balancing, auto-scaling, and automated management. 

You can also take advantage of its DevOps capabilities, such as continuous deployment from Azure DevOps, GitHub, Docker Hub, and other sources, package management, staging environments, custom domain, and SSL certificates.

With App Service, you pay for the Azure compute resources you use. The compute resources you use is determined by the App Service plan that you run your apps on.
