Introduction
Many of our web app hosted on Azure are built on top of a PaaS service, such as Azure App Service and SQL Azure. These services are usually billed based on the amount of resources they consume. The more resources they consume, the more we pay. However, there are some best practices that we can follow to reduce the amount of resources consumed and, therefore, reduce the amount of money we pay. Specially if we are running a web app that is not used 24/7 or just used during business hours in the same time zone.
