Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific configuration files (web.config), mentioning Windows-native tools (iisnode) for Node.js apps, and omitting equivalent Linux-native examples or tools. While there is a brief mention of running on Linux with PM2, the overall guidance and examples prioritize Windows patterns and tools, with Linux alternatives either missing or mentioned secondarily.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-native configuration examples alongside or before Windows-specific ones (e.g., show how to configure auto-healing or memory limits for Linux-based App Service plans, not just via web.config).
- Include Linux-native process managers and configuration files (e.g., systemd, supervisord, or PM2 ecosystem files) when discussing Node.js app hosting, not just iisnode.
- When referencing tools or settings (like iisnode or web.config), explicitly note their applicability (Windows-only) and provide equivalent Linux guidance.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and best practices sections include parity for both Windows and Linux App Service environments, with clear, side-by-side examples where possible.
