Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Azure App Service on Windows using iisnode. All configuration and troubleshooting steps are tailored to Windows, with exclusive references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., iisnode, web.config, named pipes, Win32 error codes, Kudu CMD/PowerShell). There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based App Service or cross-platform scenarios, and Linux equivalents (such as PM2, systemd, or nginx) are not mentioned.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent guidance and examples for Node.js applications running on Azure App Service Linux, including configuration, troubleshooting, and monitoring steps.
- Include Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PM2, systemd, nginx, environment variables) alongside or before Windows/iisnode examples.
- Provide cross-platform troubleshooting steps and clarify which instructions apply only to Windows.
- Offer PowerShell and Bash (or shell) command examples side-by-side where relevant.
- Reference Linux log file locations and diagnostic tools (e.g., /var/log, journalctl) in troubleshooting sections.
- Link to Linux-focused documentation or external resources for parity.
