Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Azure App Service on Windows using iisnode. All configuration examples, troubleshooting steps, and tool references are Windows-centric (e.g., node.exe, web.config, named pipes, Win32 error codes, Kudu CMD/PowerShell, IIS, and DLLs). There are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents provided, and Linux troubleshooting or deployment patterns are not mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent sections or links for Node.js on Azure App Service for Linux, including configuration and troubleshooting steps.
- Provide Linux-based examples (e.g., using PM2, systemd, or NGINX instead of IIS/iisnode) alongside or before Windows examples.
- Include Linux-specific file paths, error log locations, and diagnostic tools (such as journalctl, systemctl, or Linux shell commands).
- Reference cross-platform Node.js debugging and profiling tools, and clarify which steps are Windows-only.
- Clearly label Windows-specific content and provide navigation or pivots to Linux content where available.
