What Microsoft Azure Got Right for Developers - Stackify

Azure Web & Worker Roles were Microsoft’s first attempt at this. They work well, but have a few pain points. Very slow to deploy. Can’t change the instance size after deployment. Configurations via service definitions can get complicated. My biggest complaint is that they can get expensive quickly if you have a lot of small apps. You can’t easily pack multiple apps onto fewer servers and you get stuck paying even more for staging servers. Luckily, Microsoft has solved all of these issues with Azure Web Apps.
