[FREE] Hosting ASP.NET Web Apps with a SQLite database on Azure
![[FREE] Hosting ASP.NET Web Apps with a SQLite database on Azure](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HNsBe3Cuu9g/hqdefault.jpg)
In this tutorial I demonstrate a free way for people to host ASP.NET web apps with a SQL database on Azure. In the demonstration a Blazor server app is created with basic CRUD functionality, using Bootstrap as the front-end framework. Entity Framework Core is used to create the database using a code-first approach. Lastly the app is published to an Azure App Service resource.

So what is SQLite and why should you use it?
SQLite is a great SQL database variant for your testing and smaller production apps. With SQLite your database is just simply a file. Using this allows you to host an app with a SQL database for free on Azure, whereas if you want a full blown SQL server it’ll cost you I believe about $10 a month minimum. You can actually run growing production apps on SQLite as well, if your SQLite database can’t handle your traffic anymore you know you have a good problem on your hands. So that’s a little overview of SQLite and why I use it.
