Microsoft introduced Node SDK for Azure Mobile Apps alongside Azure App Service support last year. The company says “this enables you to build and run mobile backends using Node.js on App Service, as well as add push notifications, mobile auth, offline sync and other mobile features and backend APIs to any Node.js app running on App Services.”
