Deploy Node.js web apps to Azure App Service

On Azure, you have several options for deploying and hosting web apps:

• The best hosting option for web apps is Azure App Service, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering. To get started, try any of the following resources:

  • Create a Node.js web app in Azure
  • Try Azure App Service - Create an Express app from a template
  • Host a web app with Azure App Service - Learn module
  • Build a Node.js and MongoDB app in Azure
  • App Service samples

• You can build your own containers and deploy them to Azure using the Azure Container Registry and Azure Kubernetes Service. For details see How to deploy Node.js containers to Azure.

• If you like to work primarily with serverless code, refer to How to write serverless Node.js code on Azure.

• For details on creating a JAMstack (static) site, see How to build JAMstack (static site) web apps with Azure.

• If you'd like to control the infrastructure, you can simply use a virtual machine. To get started, follow the Deploy a website with Azure virtual machines path on Microsoft Learn.

For a complete overview of different hosting options, see Decision tree for Azure compute services as well as the Core Cloud Services - Azure compute options module on Microsoft Learn.
