When Your App Randomly Goes Down. Few things cause more panic than this scenario:
Your app works locally
Deployment succeeds
Suddenly the app goes down
Logs show repeated restarts
No clear error message
You Google one thing: “Azure App Service keeps restarting”
This blog explains why Azure App Service restarts happen, how to identify the exact root cause, and how to fix it permanently—not just restart the service and hope.
What Does “Azure App Service Keeps Restarting” Mean?
When an Azure App Service keeps restarting, it means the application process is repeatedly crashing or failing health checks, causing the platform to automatically stop and restart the app to recover. This behavior usually indicates:
Application-level crashes
Resource exhaustion
Startup failures
Configuration errors
Azure is not the problem—the app is.
How Azure App Service Restart Cycles Work
Azure App Service automatically restarts your app when:
The process crashes
Memory limits are exceeded
Startup takes too long
Health checks fail
Configuration changes occur
This creates a restart loop, often called a crash loop. Understanding why Azure App Service keeps restarting your app is the key to fixing it.
