Azure API App vs Mobile App vs Web App

Used to write sql server backed web services that exposed xml via SOAP on a hosted server platform. Know how to do that. If I want to take that knowledge to Azure... which model will work best for a sql backend, ADO data, and a web service that a web application and a mobile application can read write data through?

There was a point in time when there were differences between the different app service types, but that is no longer true. The documentation now states:

The only difference between the three app types (API, web, mobile) is the name and icon used for them in the Azure portal.

So it no longer matters which app service type you choose to deploy to (unless you care what the icon looks like).

An API app and a Azure Web app will equally work for you. They are both web apps. But one has been optimised for better use of API.
