Hi,
I am trying out hosting on Azure App Services. I crated a solution, it has two project. One for MVC and one for WebApi. MVC project consume Web api for its data. So this is currently on my local.

Now when I am doing the deployment, should I host Web Api and MVC project separately and I can host them a single solution as they run on my visual studio? Seem to me I would have to host them separately because I would need to get the uri and prior to hosting I can update my MVC code to the uri from the azure by replacing http://localhost.

Another point that I have in my mind that in MVC project under properties, there is a checkbox for dependencies, if I mark webapi then I assume it will also be deployed with the MVC project (sorry I am having issues therefore I wasn't able to deploy and test and figure out what is going on).
Can anyone guide me please. What would be the process. I seen several guide and articles but they are talking about both and how they can be integrated in azure.

I am trying to do the deploying the code to Azure hosting environment from Visual Studio 2019. I have already created the App Service.

    Hi @Aamiz , if you'd like to host both MVC and WebAPI applications on single Azure App Service app, you can achieve it by deploying them in two sub applications/directories.

    Besides, you may need to update the URL in your code based on the virtual applications or directories that your created while you consume the API.
