I have a WebAPI application running on Azure WebSites. It is running in Basic mode and I have the option to make it "Always On". There seems to be conflicting information online about what this means exactly. I know the effect, but the "how" matters a lot here. In particular, does something automatically hit an endpoint in my application periodically? If so, can I control the endpoint it hits?
As I mentioned, it is a Web API application and the default route does non-trivial work and results in a notable amount of outbound traffic and it will also result in items being placed onto a work queue that will eventually be processed. I want the application always on (no cold start times) but I don't want some service making requests of application.
