Azure App Service: A Comprehensive Guide to Hosting Web Apps, APIs, and Mobile Backends
What is Azure App Service?
Azure App Service empowers you to build and host a variety of applications, including web apps, background jobs, mobile backends, and RESTful APIs, using your preferred programming language without the need to manage infrastructure. It offers automatic scaling and high availability, supporting both Windows and Linux environments. Additionally, it enables automated deployments from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or any Git repository, facilitating a continuous deployment model.

Cloud Service Models
There are three main types of cloud service models:
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
IaaS, also known as Hardware as a Service (HaaS), provides computing infrastructure managed over the internet. It allows users to avoid the cost and complexity of managing physical servers.
Characteristics of IaaS:
- Resources available as a service
- Highly scalable services
- Dynamic and flexible
- GUI and API-based access
- Automated administrative tasks
Examples: DigitalOcean, Linode, Amazon Web Services

Big Data Definition
Big data refers to data that surpasses the processing capabilities of traditional database systems. It addresses challenges related to data velocity (speed of generation), volume (amount), and variety (heterogeneity).
The Three V’s of Big Data
- Velocity: Information is generated faster than it can be analyzed.
- Volume: Data volume grows faster than computational resources.
- Variety: Data sources are increasingly diverse.
Steps in Big Data Processing
- Data processing
- Data analysis/modeling
- Visualization

PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS
LIGHT
Plastics offer convenience in loading and transporting objects or plastic containers due to their lightweight nature.
IMPERMEABLE
We can produce fabrics that protect us from rain or pipes that carry water or gas thanks to the impermeable properties of plastics.
THERMAL INSULATORS
Synthetic fibers in sweaters provide insulation from the cold, and insulating houses with plastics helps prevent energy loss during heating.

Backup Lights
When driving in reverse, backup lights should be on. It is against NJ law to have any backup lights on while moving forward.
Brake Lights
If a vehicle’s brake lights are not working, someone may crash into it from the back. A motorist should have someone help them check the brake lights. Replace broken light covers, as they may have a glare that affects the motorist behind.
Horn
A horn should not be overused, but a motorist should check it often to make sure it works. Use the

Ferrous Materials
Ferrous materials contain iron as their main component. Examples include:
- Steel (used for loaded parts due to its strength)
- Cast iron
- Cast aluminum
Properties of Ferrous Metals
- Elasticity: Deformation disappears when the applied force is removed.
- Hardness: Resistance to abrasion, penetration, and cutting.
- Brittleness: Tendency to fracture with little bending or deformation (e.g., very hard steel, cast iron, cast aluminum).
