Best Azure Service for Application

I have an application that fetches data from a remote server and sends the data to my server (ASP.NET 6). I want the application to run once every 24 hours, and ideally at the same time every day.

My initial thought was to host it using Azure App Service and keep the app running, but the free tier doesn't support the Always On Feature.

Assuming I host my app using Azure App Service, is it possible to invoke it using an Azure Function that would ping the app service once every 24 hours, allowing it to run?

What is the best service or combination of free services that I can use to achieve that?

Note: I am new to Azure

Solution

  • What I ended up doing is splitting the app into smaller azure functions, each with its own purpose. I also created an azure logic app that handles the rest of the logic and calls the azure functions when required.
