Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-based Azure App Service environments, specifically those using iisnode. All configuration and troubleshooting steps reference Windows concepts, tools, and file paths (e.g., node.exe, web.config, named pipes, Win32 error codes, d:\home\LogFiles). Examples and instructions are provided only for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux-based Azure App Service or cross-platform alternatives. Tools like Kudu are referenced with CMD/PowerShell, and there is no parity for Bash or Linux-native workflows.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent sections and examples for Linux-based Azure App Service environments, including configuration, troubleshooting, and file locations.
- Provide Linux/Bash command-line examples in addition to (or instead of) CMD/PowerShell, and reference Linux-native tools where appropriate.
- Clarify early in the document that the content is specific to Windows App Service, and provide links or references to Linux-focused documentation for Node.js on Azure.
- Where possible, use cross-platform Node.js concepts and tools (such as PM2 for process management) and avoid Windows-specific terminology (e.g., node.exe, Win32 error codes) unless necessary.
- Include troubleshooting steps and log file locations for Linux-based deployments (e.g., /home/LogFiles, /var/log, etc.).
