Setting up NodeJS Typescript server on Azure

Question

Benjamin Le 0

I'm trying to set up a NodeJS backend on Azure, but it's not a basic NodeJS server because I'm using Typescript. The tutorials I followed here

do not seem to work.

Are there more resources you can point me to for my specific use case?

So, you want to host it on Azure App Service (Windows)? Then try to host it on Windows/IIS first and that helps you get familiar with the settings, https://halfblood.pro/running-nodejs-web-apps-on-iis-with-httpplatformhandler/
