Summary
In this chapter, we covered the first part of the Implementing Solutions for Apps objective. We covered App Service and App Service plans, created an Azure App Service Web App, learned how to safely deploy updates without effecting live services, and how to automatically scale resources, depending on a number of factors. We also looked at creating an App Service background task using WebJobs, as well as enabled diagnostic logging for the Web App.
We then looked at Azure Functions and how they can be used to deploy microservice-based apps. Finally, we learned how Logic Apps offers a simple no-code alternative for business-driven workflows.
In the next chapter, we will continue with this objective by learning how to design and develop apps that run in containers.
