About Azure app service (Points gathered from microsoft documents)
App Service not only adds the power of Microsoft Azure to your application, such as security, load balancing, autoscaling, 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 TLS/SSL certificates.
Why Azure app service is chosen to deploy this application is:
- (automatic or manual) Scaling to multiple instances
- SSL termination with built-in certs
- Easy app setting configuration
- IP restriction support
- Easy Auth - and other authentication providers built-in support
