Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-specific tooling and patterns, particularly IIS and iisnode, which are not available on Linux. All configuration examples and troubleshooting steps reference Windows concepts (e.g., web.config, named pipes, Win32 error codes, DLLs, d:\home\LogFiles), and there are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided. The documentation assumes the use of node.exe and does not mention node on Linux or App Service Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent guidance for Node.js apps running on Linux-based Azure App Service (e.g., using PM2, Nginx, or Kestrel).
- Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and log file locations.
- Include configuration examples for Linux environments (e.g., environment variables, process managers, startup scripts).
- Mention differences between Windows and Linux App Service environments and clarify which instructions apply to each.
- Avoid assuming the presence of Windows-only concepts (web.config, named pipes, Win32 errors) and offer alternatives for Linux.
- Balance examples and recommendations between Windows and Linux to ensure parity.
