Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias, especially in the 'Application Initialization (AppInit)' section, where Windows/IIS mechanisms are described in detail and Linux alternatives are only briefly mentioned. Windows-specific tools and modules (IIS Application Initialization, .NET Core stdout logging) are referenced without equivalent Linux-focused guidance or examples. Linux features are mentioned as afterthoughts, with minimal explanation or practical examples, and there are no Linux shell or configuration examples provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide equal detail for Linux features, such as expanding on how to use WEBSITE_WARMUP_PATH with concrete examples and best practices.
- Include Linux-specific examples (e.g., shell commands, configuration snippets) alongside Windows/IIS examples.
- Reference Linux-native tools and patterns for logging and initialization, such as systemd, NGINX/Apache warmup strategies, or stdout/stderr log handling.
- Ensure that Linux guidance is presented with parity to Windows, both in order and in technical depth.
- Where a feature is Windows-only, clearly state this and offer Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
