Web API Deployment

The Web API are ASP.NET Core applications that can be deployed and hosted in different ways. Out of the box, the DS Web API templates generate a self-hosted console app (exe-file) using the Kestrel web server. In a simple setup, this exe-file could be hosted within a standard Windows Service. However, in most production scenarios, you would host it within an Azure App Service, configure it with a reverse proxy server such as IIS or host it as a Docker container.
