Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Azure App Service on Windows using iisnode. All configuration and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific tools, file paths, and concepts (e.g., web.config, named pipes, Win32 error codes, node.exe, Kudu CMD/PowerShell). There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux-based App Service environments, nor are cross-platform considerations discussed.
Recommendations:
- Add a parallel section or separate article for Node.js on Azure App Service Linux, covering best practices and troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux environments.
- Provide Linux-specific examples, such as using PM2 or systemd for process management, and reference Linux file paths and logging locations.
- Include instructions for accessing the Kudu SSH/Bash console on Linux App Service, not just CMD/PowerShell.
- When discussing configuration (e.g., process management, logging, debugging), mention both Windows (iisnode/web.config) and Linux (e.g., PM2/ecosystem.config.js, environment variables) approaches.
- Clarify at the start of the article that the content is Windows-specific, and provide clear links to Linux-focused documentation.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are given equal prominence where both are supported.
