How to Clear App Service Caching

Darlene Fountaine 40

I have an Angular website hosted in a Linux-based app service. This website is not very complicated, not high volume, and does not process highly critical or confidential data. It does leverage SendGrid to send transactional email messages to customers. The problem is that the changes I make to API endpoints through my environment files are not consumed by the website. It's as if the website is stuck with previous settings. So I'm thinking that caching must be involved. I've set these app settings in the Azure app service:

WEBSITE_DYNAMIC_CACHE=0 and

WEBSITE_LOCAL_CACHE_OPTION=Never

Neither of these settings is having an effect. How can I get the website to consume updates to environment variables (for that matter, updates to anything) and not continue to use "old" code? Thanks.

Hi Darlene,

Try to restart the Azure App Service

I just published new changes, but my app does not seem to have them. Why?

If your app uses Local Cache, then you need to restart your site to get the latest changes. Don’t want to publish changes to a production site? See the slot options in the previous best practices section.
