Azure Container Apps is a serverless platform that allows you to maintain less infrastructure and save costs while running containerized applications

Common uses of Azure Container Apps include:

  • Deploying API endpoints
  • Hosting background processing jobs
  • Handling event-driven processing
  • Running microservices

Additionally, applications built on Azure Container Apps can dynamically scale based on the following characteristics:

  • HTTP traffic
  • Event-driven processing
  • CPU or memory load
  • Any KEDA-supported scaler

Azure Container Apps enables you to build serverless microservices and jobs based on containers.
