Azure Static Web Apps VS Begin
Azure Static Web Apps
Azure Static Web Apps is a platform for building, deploying, and managing modern web applications. It offers a range of features for building and deploying serverless applications, including support for a variety of programming languages, automatic scaling, and real-time monitoring
Azure Static Web Apps is designed to be easy to use and require minimal setup, making it a good choice for developers who want to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure.
Begin
Begin is a cloud platform for building, deploying, and managing serverless applications. It offers a range of features for building and deploying applications quickly and easily, including support for a variety of programming languages, automatic scaling, and real-time monitoring.
One of the key features of Begin is its support for serverless functions. With Begin, you can build and deploy serverless functions as part of your application, and the platform will automatically scale your functions to meet demand. This makes it easy to build and deploy applications that are built around small, focused pieces of code that are only executed when they are needed.
Begin also provides a number of tools and services to help you manage your deployments, including analytics and monitoring, custom domain management, and integration with popular services like GitHub and Slack.

- Charges for a custom domain, a free tier, and a greater app size
- connects to further Azure services, including Azure Functions, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, and Azure Event Grid
- appropriate for less-featured, simple web apps
Begin
- Global CDN-based hosting
