Answer 1

Hi @Anand Sharma , I understand you want to implement rate limit capability to your App Service.

Azure App Service does not have a built-in rate limit capability. You can utilize feature from other service to provide rate limit, one of these options:

• Azure WAF (Web Application Firewall) on App Gateway
• Azure WAF (Web Application Firewall) on Front Door
• Azure API Management
