Hi Pedro,
First of all thanks for reply. The second thing i have suggested to my employer is PaaS via Azure App. As earlier i told you that I am Azure Administrator Associate but I now little about solution architect you can say only theoretical knowledge but never deployed it.
Now my employer is asking me to deploy it which I am not confident to start it, so I need help from where i need to start? However i have designed which I can share here with you.

    Excellent with your photo, I understand your requirement in this case I recommend that you evaluate:

    1. How many users access the front-end services daily (approximate)?

    2. Does the application of the solution need flexibility and scalability?

    3. How much data stored in that database in a year?

    4. Do you need high security (recommended) or moderate security?

    5. The main question, have you evaluated the annual budget available for this application?

    If you answer these questions it is possible, I recommended the best architecture.

    only reference you need evaluate your solution in depth.

      1. How many users access the front-end services daily (approximate)? It is a time sheet and not sure about how many users will be there, may be in 1000s.

      2. Does the application of the solution need flexibility and scalability?
      yes it needs both flexibility and scalability.
      3. How much data stored in that database in a year?
      depends upon number of users.
      4. Do you need high security (recommended) or moderate security?
      yes it needs security.
      5. The main question, have you evaluated the annual budget available for this application?
      not yet talked about budget but i have to tell them atleast baseline budget.

      Thanks
