Python on Azure

Build and deploy your Python apps in the cloud—and go further with AI and data science

Why Python on Azure?

Build Python web apps in the cloud

Build better web apps, faster, with our managed application platform optimized for Python. Connect your apps to data using Azure services for popular relational and non-relational (SQL and NoSQL) databases.

Complete platform for AI and machine learning with Python

Quickly and easily build, train, host, and deploy models from any Python environment with Azure services for data science and machine learning. Or bring in pre-built AI solutions to deliver cutting-edge experiences to your Python apps.

Our tools for Python development—or yours

Build and debug your Python apps with Visual Studio Code, our free editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Azure and Visual Studio Code also integrate seamlessly with GitHub, enabling you to adopt a full DevOps lifecycle for your Python apps. Or bring the tools you’re used to.

Web apps

Focus on your application's code, not on infrastructure. Run Django and Flask apps on our serverless platform with Azure Web Apps on Linux or Azure Functions while Azure takes care of the underlying infrastructure.

Azure offers both relational and non-relational databases as managed services. Easily add these to your Python apps, choosing from among managed solutions for PostgreSQL and MySQL , Redis , Azure Cosmos DB (compatible with MongoDB), and other services.
