Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments by exclusively using Visual Studio Code and its extensions (such as the SQL Server (mssql) extension and Azure Functions Core Tools) for all steps, without mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux users. All instructions assume the use of VS Code's command palette and GUI features, which are most commonly used on Windows. There are no examples or guidance for using command-line tools (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure CLI, or other editors) on Linux or macOS, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations for local development, database connectivity, or deployment.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux users, including how to perform each step using the terminal and command-line tools (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure CLI, nano/vim for editing files).
- Mention and provide alternatives to Visual Studio Code, such as using VS Code on Linux, or other editors and tools available on Linux.
- Include guidance for installing and using Azure Functions Core Tools and the Azure Developer CLI on Linux, with troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues.
- Provide examples for connecting to Azure SQL Database using command-line tools (e.g., sqlcmd, mssql-cli) on Linux.
- Clarify any platform-specific differences in authentication (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID) and how to handle them on Linux.
- Ensure that all steps (provisioning, running, deploying, cleaning up) can be completed entirely from the command line, and document those workflows.
