Hi @Vishu
Migrating a Spring cron job from an on-premises environment to Azure App Service requires adjustments, as Azure App Service does not provide traditional scheduled job functionality.

1. Migrate your cron job logic into an Azure Function. With Azure Functions, you can run code using a timer trigger without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

2. For users wishing to remain on Azure App Service, WebJobs is also an option. Tasks can be executed in the background and set to run on a schedule, similarly to cron jobs. Your Spring application can be deployed as a Web Job.
3. Logic Apps in Azure can achieve more complex workflows by creating scheduled tasks that incorporate multiple services.
