Here are some ways to reduce Azure App Service costs:
- Use the appropriate App Service Plan: Choose the App Service Plan that best fits your workload requirements and usage patterns, such as the number of instances, memory and CPU.
- Scale down during off-peak hours: Use the auto-scale feature to automatically scale your App Service instances down during off-peak hours. This can help you save money by only paying for the resources you need when you need them.
- Use Azure Reserved Instances: Purchase Azure Reserved Instances to get a discount on your App Service costs. This can help you save money by committing to a long-term usage of Azure App Service.
- Use Azure Monitor and Log Analytics: Use Azure Monitor and Log Analytics to track and analyze your App Service usage and costs. This can help you identify and address any cost issues and optimize your App Service usage.
- Use Azure Functions: Use Azure Functions to run event-driven, serverless compute in the cloud. This can help you save money by only paying for the compute resources you use, rather than having to pay for dedicated App Service instances.
- Monitor and review your app service regularly: Regularly monitoring and reviewing your app service usage, memory and CPU utilization and make adjustments accordingly.
- Use Azure CDN: Use Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute your content globally and reduce the load on your App Service instances.
It’s important to keep in mind that some of these strategies may require changes to your application code or architecture, so it’s important to consider the trade-offs between cost savings and other factors, such as application performance or development complexity.
