Swarnnika Singh Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. This issue is similar to an issue in GitHub thread: node_modules\bcrypt\lib\binding\bcrypt_lib.node is not a valid Win32 application and suggest you use bcryptjs (works in Azure environment) instead of native bcrypt module.

Also, make sure to run npm rebuild bcrypt --build-from-source (reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60962219/error-bcrypt-lib-node-is-not-a-valid-win32-application). If you still face any issues, let me know more about the function runtime version, full exception etc.
