You should not use PaaS cloud services for new workloads. There are various options depending on the complexity of the processing you need to do.

PaaS cloud services are classic now, you can use webjobs with appservices. Another interesting option is AZURE STACK which is really good for hybrid cloud. refer this link https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/azure-stack AZURE STACK is really good for hybrid cloud, As if now it is in Technical preview.
