Coninuous webjob vs triggered for a scheduled run

Question

I am having a webjob which needs to run at regular intervals but having it as continuous with cron expression rather than triggered type. Will it make any difference especially in terms of any performance? Any help in understanding this very much appreciated

Answer 1

Continuous webjob for a schedule run: It will starts immediately when the WebJob is created and run on the schedule.

Triggered webjob for a scheduled run: Starts only when triggered on a schedule.

If your app runs continuous or scheduled WebJobs, enable Always On to ensure that the WebJobs run reliably. This feature is available only in the Basic, Standard, and Premium pricing tiers.
