Application Gateway
Azure Application Gateway handles web traffic routing with a built-in web application firewall and layer 7 capabilities. It acts as a load balancer, directing requests to backend servers based on intelligent rules rather than just simple round-robin distribution. This setup manages both security filtering and traffic distribution for web applications directly within the Azure networking stack.
Teams already committed to Azure infrastructure will find this integration straightforward, though the lack of a free tier means costs accrue immediately. At $0.008 per hour, the entry price is low, but the pay-as-you-go model requires careful monitoring of traffic volume since there is no zero-cost option for testing or low-traffic environments.
