How to host multiple applications in the same Azure Web App Service?

I have the same setup as you; an ASP.NET Core web API, and a Blazor Server Side app.

As you want to use the same domain for both services, you would have to use Azure API Management or some other proxy if you were to route requests to two different Azure App Services.

An easier option is to deploy both services to the same App Service, but as different virtual applications. You publish your Blazor app as normal, but for the Web API you would publish to a new virtual application /api.

To enable this virtual application, navigate to Configuration and then Path mappings in your App Service. Here you already have the default virtual application / pointing to site\wwwroot. You then add another virtual application named /api pointing to site\wwwroot\api:

When adding the virtual application, remember to remove checkbox for Directory (making it a virtual application instead), and optionally enable Preload:

If you publish your app using Azure DevOps Pipeline, it has an option to specify virtual application if another than default should be used.

You can now navigate to your two different URLs and hit each service. Note that when developing your Web API, you should not add api to your controllers routes, as this virtual application does that for you.

Two web apps under the same Azure Web App

Since other communities have provided suggestions, I just summarized the existing approaches and my ideas for you to achieve your purpose:

• Use multiple virtual directories under a single web app as Zahid Faroq commented

• Use two separate web apps

  Since you are using azure web app, for a simple way, you could leverage App Service Certificate, and choose the S1 Standard certificate SKU which could create SSL bindings for root and www subdomain. Example: A single certificate could be used to protect example.com and www.example.com. If you use other subdomain instead of www and you could confirm that you only need two SSL certificates, then you need to buy an additional SSL for member.example.com. Also, you could check WoTrus TLS / SSL Certificates, GoDaddy SSL Certificates, How to get FREE SSL Certificate for Website (HTTPS).
