Per-site scaling
Per-site scaling lets apps in the same App Service plan use different numbers of workers. Normally, when a plan scales out to five instances, every app in that plan can run on all five. With per-site scaling enabled, one quiet app might use one worker while a busy app uses four. This is useful when many related apps share a paid plan but do not need equal capacity. It is not autoscale by itself; it is a placement and worker-count control.
