How to use GitHub to launch your web application

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that lets developers create, launch, and grow web, mobile, and API apps rapidly. It is available within Microsoft Azure. One particular kind of Azure App Service that is dedicated to hosting web applications is called Azure Web Apps.

With Azure Web Apps, you can create and host web applications using well-known programming languages like Java,.NET, Node.js, Python, and PHP on a fully managed platform. It has functions including load balancing, traffic management, continuous deployment, and monitoring in addition to automatic scalability.

In contrast, Azure App Service is a more comprehensive category that covers not just Azure Web Apps but also additional App Service products like Azure Functions (which are used for serverless computing), Azure Logic Apps (which automate workflows), and Azure API Management (which manages APIs).
