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, node.exe, Win32 error codes, Kudu CMD/PowerShell), and file paths use Windows conventions. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and Linux equivalents (such as Azure App Service for Linux or Linux-based Node.js hosting patterns) are not mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Add a parallel section or separate documentation for Node.js on Azure App Service for Linux, covering equivalent best practices and troubleshooting steps.
- Include Linux-based configuration and deployment examples, such as using PM2, NGINX, or systemd, and reference Linux file paths and conventions.
- When discussing tools like Kudu, provide guidance for both Windows (CMD/PowerShell) and Linux (Bash/SSH) environments.
- Avoid assuming the presence of Windows-specific files (e.g., web.config, node.exe) and instead mention cross-platform alternatives where possible.
- Reference both Windows and Linux error codes and diagnostic methods, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Clearly indicate at the top of the article that the content is specific to Windows, and provide a link to Linux-focused documentation for parity.
