Pro Tips

Use deployment slots to test in production before swapping to live.

Enable 'Always On' for production apps to prevent cold starts.

Use 'az webapp up' for quick deployments from local code.

Common Mistakes

Free and Shared tiers have limited CPU time and no custom domains.

Slot swaps swap app settings too unless marked as 'slot setting'.
