1) Azure PaaS
Moving from traditional infrastructure to improve agility, performance and scalability require some work. Benefiting from PaaS services in Azure and from features like auto-scalability or easy-manageable configuration sounds great, but it also requires some work - you have to make an application ready for these kind of services. Re-factoring is needed, in most cases.
With a consistent effort from the development team, the applications were repackaged and now make use of App Services, Azure Functions, Application Insights and PaaS databases.
App Services offers the perfect solution for managing the needs regarding availability and performance - setting up correctly calculated auto-scale setting ensures that the application will be up and running at any given point, no matter how many users will access it or how much traffic will it need to hold.
Azure Functions serve perfectly for situations where actions are event-driven. This serverless compute platform solves complex orchestration problems, being automated and being flexible scaled based on the workload volume.
Application Insights proves to be the perfect tool to monitor closely the traffic and any other insights needed regarding infrastructure. It offers a perfect balance between monitoring, management and alerting.
