How to run a node.js app in background on Azure

问题

Say I have this simple nodejs app and want to deploy it to Azure as a web app to run in background:

//server.js
function test() {
    // send some request to a url
}
setInterval(test, 10000);

So I'd do this on Heroku by adding a Procfile and a command like worker: node server.js, but what's the equal method for azure?

Background tasks in Microsoft Azure App Service are called WebJobs. You can execute any of the following as a WebJob:

• .cmd, .bat, .exe (using windows cmd)
• .ps1 (using powershell)
• .sh (using bash)
• .php (using php)
• .py (using python)
• .js (using node)
• .jar (using java)

You can read more about WebJobs on Microsoft Azure official documentation center: Run Background tasks with WebJobs

Also, Scott Allen has nice tutorial on node.js and WebJobs: Azure WebJobs With Node.js
