What is best way to host simple Java https server on Azure

Question

I want to ask for a advice. I have to make some server app. That serwer app have to be accessible from users mobile apps by HTTPS request. Server need to be written in Java or even better in Kotlin and by hosted by some Azure service. I want to ask what is a best(simplest) way to do this? I thought about Linux Server VM, that have open sockets and waiting for users requests. I already tried set up Azure App Service but i dont really know how to handle Http requests there. I'm absolute beginner in network programming so any advice will be appreciated.

Answer 1

I think the easiest way is using Azure App Service and it will bring multiple benefits such as:

• Slots
• Easy Scaling in/Scaling out rules
• Included Https certificate
