Summary
The documentation page for Durable Entities in Azure Functions does not show explicit Windows bias in the form of Windows-only tools, PowerShell-heavy examples, or exclusive mention of Windows patterns. However, there is a subtle 'windows_first' bias: the .NET/C# examples (which are most commonly associated with Windows development) are presented first and in greatest detail, including advanced features like class-based syntax, dependency injection, and entity coordination. Linux-specific patterns, tools, or shell commands are not mentioned, and there are no explicit Linux examples or parity notes. Python and JavaScript examples are present, but less detailed and lack coverage of advanced features. There are no PowerShell examples, but this is clearly noted as unsupported.
Recommendations
- Add explicit notes or sections about cross-platform development, including any OS-specific considerations for running Durable Entities on Linux (e.g., file system, permissions, deployment differences).
- Ensure parity in example depth: provide equally detailed Python and JavaScript examples for advanced features such as entity coordination, dependency injection, and locking.
- Include Linux shell (bash) or CLI examples where relevant, especially in deployment or operational contexts.
- If certain features are only available or best supported on Windows/.NET, clearly document any limitations or workarounds for Linux users.
- Consider reordering example pivots so that non-Windows languages (Python, JavaScript) are not always after .NET/C#.
