How to Improve Performance of My Azure Web App?

Hi everyone,

I have a web application hosted on Azure, and I've been experiencing some performance issues lately. The app seems to be running slower than expected, especially during peak usage times. I have already tried some basic optimizations, but I'm still facing latency problems. Here's a brief overview of my current setup:

  • App Service Plan: Standard S1

Programming Language: ASP.NET Core

Database: Azure SQL Database (Standard tier)

Caching: Azure Redis Cache

App Configuration: Auto-scaling enabled with 2 instances

Has anyone faced similar issues or have any recommendations for further optimizing performance? Specifically, I'm interested in:

Best practices for configuring auto-scaling to handle traffic spikes.

Tips for optimizing SQL queries and database performance.

Any Azure-specific tools or services that can help monitor and diagnose performance bottlenecks.

Recommendations for improving response times and reducing latency.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
