## Description
This architecture allows you to create and run a complete web application using service app, including the database, storage and the DNS zone in a single region.
### Data flow
1. A user issues an HTTPS request to the App Service's DNS domain.
2. This domain automatically points to your App Service's built-in public IP.
3. The TLS connection is established from the client directly to app service. The certificate is managed completely by Azure.
**N.B:**
- The Terraform code is automatically generated with best practices and contains variables that you can customize to fir your needs.
- You have full control to change, add, delete resources or their configuration. The newly generated code will reflect these changes.
- You can replace some resources with Terraform modules.
