Summary
The documentation shows subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific configuration files (web.config), mentioning iisnode settings for Node.js apps, and omitting Linux-native equivalents or examples. While there is a brief mention of Linux (regarding PM2 and multi-core), most configuration and troubleshooting guidance assumes a Windows/IIS environment, with no parallel Linux or cross-platform instructions.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-native configuration examples (e.g., using app settings, environment variables, or Linux startup scripts) alongside or before Windows-specific ones like web.config.
- When referencing iisnode or web.config, clarify that these are Windows/IIS-specific and provide equivalent instructions for Linux-based App Service environments (e.g., using process.json, ecosystem.config.js for PM2, or other Linux process managers).
- Ensure all troubleshooting and best practice sections include both Windows and Linux scenarios, or clearly indicate when a recommendation is platform-specific.
- Highlight cross-platform tools and patterns where possible, and avoid assuming IIS or Windows as the default hosting environment.
