I have followed the basic steps to create an app service and chose the free tier.
Next I used az shell to create a simple nodejs app locally [no git]
I then used az webapp up -n app -g rg
deployment done
app does not work. Says module "express" not found.
locally the npm install is done - node modules exist; npm start works.
see log extract

Node.js apps must be deployed with all the required NPM dependencies.
The App Service deployment engine automatically runs npm install --production for you when you deploy a Git repository, or a Zip package with build automation enabled.
But If you deploy your files using FTP/S, however, you need to upload the required packages manually.By default, the deployment engine assumes that a ZIP package is ready to run as-is and doesn't run any build automation. To enable the same build automation as in a Git deployment, set the
SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENTapp settingCheck this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-zip?tabs=cli#enable-build-automation-for-zip-deploy
Let us know.
