Generally Available: Azure Container Apps Express

Azure Container Apps Express is now generally available. It is the simplest and fastest way to launch and scale powerful applications on Azure, from zero to hyperscale, without infrastructure decisions. It represents the first Azure compute platform purpose-built for agent and developer use alike.

Express is based on years of experience running Azure Container Apps at a large scale. We have learned that most developers working on web apps, APIs and agents want to deploy quickly, have automatic scaling, and avoid dealing with complex infrastructure. Express provides these features. It sets up your environment in seconds, can handle any amount of traffic, and removes complicated settings. This helps teams move from writing code to having a production-ready app in just minutes, not hours.

Express is purpose-built for workloads serving developers and agents alike. It provides opinionated, production-grade defaults: autoscaling, per-second billing, managed identity, secrets management, custom domains, container registry integration, revision management, and built-in observability. Just bring your container, Azure Container Apps Express handles everything else.
