Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Azure App Service on Windows with iisnode. All configuration and troubleshooting steps are tailored to Windows, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., iisnode, web.config, named pipes, Win32 error codes, Kudu CMD/PowerShell). There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and Linux troubleshooting or deployment patterns are not mentioned. The use of Windows paths and error codes further reinforces the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel documentation or sections for Linux-based Azure App Service environments, including configuration and troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux.
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as using PM2 or systemd for process management, and nginx or Apache for reverse proxying.
- Reference Linux file paths, error logs, and common debugging tools (e.g., journalctl, tail, lsof) alongside or instead of Windows-specific ones.
- Offer guidance on differences between iisnode (Windows) and alternatives like Azure App Service for Linux, including how to configure and debug Node.js apps in those environments.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, or clearly indicate when content is Windows-only and link to Linux equivalents.
