Swagger UI provides automatically generated HTML assets that give you automatic documentation and even an online test tool.

This can reduce the time and efforts you spend on creating your Client Application to consume and test your RESTful APIs. With minimum amount of code, you will get an easy to use test client for your APIs. Benefits of using SWAGGER UI? A Sandbox! Create test client for your APIs in seconds! It's comprehensible for developers and non-developers. It's easily adjustable. It’s like a sitemap for your API. How to set Up the Swagger...

Hence, any Web App should be able to adapt to the changed amount of workload and traffic that it gets. When we deploy our web apps to azure, it is called an instance. It is allocated certain amount of hardware resources & servers depending upon your App Service Plan. There are basically two kinds of scaling that is performed on a web application: SCALE OUT (Horizontal) Scale Out refers to increasing the number of instances for your web application. To scale out a web app, you increase the number of virtual machine instances on which your web app is running.
