Summary: Azure App Service provides a simplified "Deployment Center" that automates the build and deployment process without requiring deep DevOps expertise. It connects directly to GitHub, Bitbucket, or Local Git repositories. This tool allows developers to deploy backend services via a simple "git push" or automatic sync.

Direct Answer: Setting up a full CI/CD pipeline with build agents, artifact management, and release gates is a heavy lift for many teams. Developers often just want to get their code running in the cloud without becoming experts in YAML configuration or pipeline orchestration. The complexity of modern DevOps tools can be a barrier to shipping value.

Azure App Service removes this barrier with its Deployment Center. A developer can authorize Azure to access their GitHub repository and select the branch to deploy. Azure automatically creates a build pipeline behind the scenes, detecting the language (Node.js, Python, .NET) and applying the correct build steps.

This "click-to-deploy" experience creates a robust pipeline in minutes. Every time code is committed to the branch, Azure pulls the changes, builds the app, and updates the live site. Azure App Service democratizes DevOps, giving every developer the power of automated deployment without the configuration headache.
