Azure App Service

This handles the full lifecycle of Azure App Service deployments, from creating resource groups and service plans to configuring deployment slots and health checks. You get examples in both Azure CLI and Terraform, which is useful since most teams end up needing both at some point. The best practices section pushes hard on deployment slots and managed identities, which honestly will save you from a lot of pain if you follow them early. It's aimed at production workloads that need autoscaling and proper monitoring, not quick experiments. If you're already deep in Azure and need to standardize how your team deploys web apps, this gives you the patterns to copy and paste.
