Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, assuming the use of Windows-only tools (PowerShell, SSMS, Visual Studio/SSDT, Windows authentication, Windows file paths, and Windows services). There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, and the self-hosted IR is implicitly treated as a Windows-only component. This creates significant friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state the platform requirements for self-hosted IR (e.g., if it is Windows-only, clarify this early in the documentation).
  • If Linux/macOS support is available or planned, provide equivalent setup, configuration, and management instructions for those platforms.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer CLI or REST API alternatives that are cross-platform.
  • Clarify whether tools like SSMS, Visual Studio/SSDT, and Microsoft Integration Runtime Configuration Manager are required, and if so, suggest alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows users.
  • For file paths and log locations, note the platform-specific defaults or equivalents.
  • Provide a summary table of supported platforms and any limitations for Linux/macOS users.
