Azure platform for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile backends. Like renting a fully-furnished office space where you can immediately start working without setup.
A startup deploys their web application to Azure App Service and automatically gets scaling, security, and monitoring.
Azure App Service is a managed platform for hosting web apps and APIs (PaaS). Comparable options include AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Google App Engine, which also manage infrastructure, scaling, and deployments for application runtimes. OCI does not have a single direct equivalent branded the same way; OCI commonly uses Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) or Compute for hosting apps, while APM is for monitoring rather than hosting.
