Azure Logger
Node.js is a first-class citizen in Azure. Logging is a necessary and important requirement of any application, and this module makes it extremely easy to quickly log entries (and subsequently read them) into an Azure storage table for later consumption/troubleshooting/etc.
TL;DR an easy way to log messages/entries/errors in Azure
