ASP.NET Core 2.0 web application fails with SQLite error when deploying project to Azure web service, but works fine in local environment

It fails when I deploy my ASP.NET Core 2.0 web application to Azure App Service.

This is what is being used in the project.

• ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC web application
• Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Edition
• SQLite database
• Code First Entity Framework
• Azure App Service

When I run the web application locally in Visual Studio it works fine. The problem occurs when I publish it to an Azure web service which cannot connect to the database. When navigating to the deployed web application URL, it states the following error:

SqliteException: SQLite error 1: 'No such table: inventory'.

I've tried applying update migrations or add migrations to the database a few times, but when deploying to an Azure server it still results in the table not being found.

This is my SQLite connection defined in the Startup.cs file.

     // Add Inventory DB
        services.AddDbContext<InventoryContext>(options =>
        options.UseSqlite("Data Source=Inventory.db"));

        // Add User DB
        services.AddDbContext<UserContext>(options =>
        options.UseSqlite("Data Source=User.db"));

        // Add Purchase Order DB
        services.AddDbContext<PurchaseOrderContext>(options =>
        options.UseSqlite("Data Source=PurchaseOrder.db"));
