Description

Azure App Services with Database is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft Azure that allows developers to build, deploy, and scale web applications and APIs. Azure App Services supports multiple programming languages, such as .NET, Java, Node.js, PHP, and Python, and provides built-in CI/CD integration, auto-scaling, and monitoring capabilities. Azure Database for MySQL is a fully managed database service that is based on the MySQL Community Edition. It provides high availability, automated backups, and security features to help developers build secure and scalable applications.

Organizations use Azure App Services with Database to build and deploy web applications that require a backend database. This combination allows developers to focus on building the application logic and frontend components without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Azure App Services with Database is suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple websites to complex web applications that require a scalable and secure database backend.
