We started our journey through Microsoft Azure by learning some basics of Azure App Services. This is a very common PaaS component, which is widely used amongst many Azure users, both for very simple websites and complex systems requiring high performance and reliability. To make sure that your Web App is always on, or to check if it is under pressure, you have to implement some kind of scaling rules. When it comes to this service, you have two options—either using manual scaling (and implementing some kind of alert, so that you know when such action should happen), or an autoscale feature, which makes things much easier in terms of maintenance. In this section, we will cover and compare both of them.
