Deploy and Host a Fullstack MERN Application Tutorial In Heroku and Netlify

[@vijayjoshi4071]

Thanks man for this amazing tutorial.....I was recently working on a MERN Stack application and while the entire development process I was just worried about one thing which was deployment....Your tutorial helped me a lot and made the deployment process pretty simple which I used to earlier consider as a nightmare due to a lot of steps involved in it. You really deserve a lot of appreciation 👍👍👍

[@PedroTechnologies]

Great to hear! I am glad you liked the video!

[@adabus8779]

Hey bro! I don't usually leave comments on videos much. However for this one I have to. I have been facing issues with understanding and deploying (I would say especially deploying) mern apps . And this series you posted was super helpful. You kept it crisp and to the point. Not much beating around the bush or over explaining things. Thanks for uploading such good content. Keep up the good work bro!

[@mounish3]

Thank you so much! I've been lookin' for this tutorial everywhere but you are the one who explained it completely :)

[@lle5159]

Not all heroes wear cap, you are the one man! Keep doing the great work! Thank you very much for making these helpful tutorials!!!

[@CAPS_AMERICA]

It's not boring, so much stuff to learn from this series, simplicity is key!

[@stanislaustankevich5445]

Thank you again! I finally did what i wanted to, your tutorial is great in explaining things to beginners, in comparison to others tutorials where people just say do this and then do that, not explaining why

[@PedroTechnologies]

Great to hear!

[@jamjam3448]

Thanks sooo much. It took me more than a week to deploy my MERN stack app. Thanks a million.

Glad I could help! I went through the same thing a year ago hahaha I know the struggle!

[@noelcovarrubias7490]

Dude. for the longest time I thought you had to deploy the server and client together. I've mostly focused on front end stuff and I use Vercel which I love. Thanks for this, I will continue using Vercel but now I know how to use Heroku for my servers :D

This is the best tutorial on yt for hosting

[@arpitj07_]

Thanks.. I was facing the H10 error and searched different resources on internet but only this video helped me to get my app deployed.😃

[@evamagdy627]

you helped me a lot appreciate your effort

[@PedroTechnologies]

Glad to hear that!

[@newsdaily9825]

Amazing tutorial, thank you. If you're app crashes and you are using environment variables in the .env file, create them first in Heroku under your app settings in Config Vars. This can also be the reason why your app crashes during deployment.

[@noobCoder26]

Thank you So much man😀😀😀😀I was successfully able to deploy after reading ur comment . It was giving error in previously . Thanks .

[@ewolz]

Im used to deploying my MERN app all on Heroku. Is it advantageous to have your client and server hosted seperately e.g. Netlify - Heroku or Heroku only. Is that best practice? What about price implications if you seperate them, do you end up paying more. I'm also wondering what is generally the cheaper option for a production environment, AWS Beanstalk? Netlify?

[@apeiron4409]

I have some question! I just deployed my react to netlify, and server to heroku. But the problem is that heroku seems to sleep. And I think it doesn’t wake up by accessing to the netlify, but only when accessing to heroku. Is there anyway to fix that? Thank you!

[@PedroTechnologies]

Hey, so the free tier in Heroku sleeps when there is no one actively in it or if no changes are being pushed. This is something unfortunate about it but its cheap to upgrade!

[@apeiron4409]

@@PedroTechnologies Thank you for the answer!

[@hummingbird2913]

LOVE ! Thanks

[@homeofbtsarmy8113]

Hey Pedro, I am a beginner in React. Your tutorials are life-saver for me. Thank You so much. Does this tutorial works if I am using MySQL instead of MongoDB?

[@PedroTechnologies]

Thank you! Yes it works but you would have to deploy the mysql db elsewhere, I have a video on doing it with mysql!

[@podSnippets_10]

thank you pedro. Heroku deployment errors is moslty caused by forgeting the script :{"start":"node index.js"} and also using bcrypt for password hashing. so if you are using bcrypt delete it and replace it cryptojs which is another tool for password hashing

[@pmmreddynitw]

Hey great content thanks. Do we need to upload node_modules also to heroku?

[@stanislaustankevich5445]

Thanks for nice tutorial! Is it possible though to deploy the whole fullstack app to Netlify without using heroku? I mean making express app serve the /build folder

[@PedroTechnologies]

It is not advised since I don't think netlify has an option to deploy an api! If they do then it's probably new

[@showbikshowmma3520]

which is better google cloud, aws or netlify??? for hosting a full stack webapp

If it is a business then AWS for sure! Netlify can't host a fullstack app, only frontend!

Getting not found error after deploying server code to heroku. Do I need to change anything on package.json or adding pro file inside server?

I have used localstorage for auth in react , and localstorage is not working on the netlify hosted website. Any suggestions??

[@romimaximus]

i have a quick question ?..on my node js backend -> should i create ".env" file to put my Mongo Atlas username, password and link to database process variables ? do you think nobody would be able to access my username and password info..?

[@PedroTechnologies]

Yes! Put that information in the .env file. I didn't in the video cause I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, but always put sensitive stuff on the .env and put the .env in the gitignore

[@gauravmavani1413]

in heroku if i attach my credit card can i access free service of my simple projects??? bcz i am scared of automatic charges of the card soo please tell me.....!!

[@PedroTechnologies]

Yes, don't worry they won't charge you if you don't use a paid service. I've been using heroku addons for about 1 year and I was never charged

[@davidzim2824]

Thanks a lot man! it really help. I just wont to add that for me it does not work on heroku until I added a "procfile". which is text file that contain only this: web:node

[@shawn.builds]

this worked for me too. in the same folder as server.js, I added a file called Procfile (make sure it has no file extension) inside Procfile, I only had this text :web:node where server.js is the name of my file. then I did the git commands again, and the build worked!

what if you need to upgrade mongoDB storage, is it required to pay extra for upgrading mongoDB storage?

[@robbinluo2810]

There's correct start in scripts, and I connected my app to mongoDB when developing, but I still got the h10 error when deploying. I tried to fix it following some other instructions, such as create a Procfile not set a hard port. All didn't work. Is there any other possible way to save me from deploying my first web? It's a ecommerce web with quite a lot of functions. Everything works fine locally.

[@dajman5857]

Hey! Can you say why did you uploaded it on heroku AND netlify ? For me it works even without netlify. Thanks in advance

[@PedroTechnologies]

Hey, so it does work without netlify if you deploy both the client and the server to heroku. However I prefer separating the servers that host my client from the one that hosts my server due to many reason. Mainly, most large scale projects have this separation due to performance reasons. I also find it easier to catch errors and know immediately if they are being caused by the frontend or the backend!

[@dajman5857]

Oww, thanks! But do you happen to know how to host the client side with npm? I mean I have really easy application with server and ejs files. I don't know whether there's client and server side. It's all plain js, ejs

[@sskdev5116]

Question would the heroku side remain running since the free version shuts down and I know netlify and vervet servers are running continuously

[@fidellis-3388]

is there a problem if i deploy both the server and client to heroku and then deploy again the client on netlify because i didnt create a server folder for my project

[@PedroTechnologies]

I think there might be issues because both the client and server should have different nodemodules folders and different packages.json

[@paraspatil1375]

That was great tutorial you really explained in detail. But I think that you should add database url in dotenv file

[@_just_for_fun_4472]

Hey can you please tell your theme of the vs code

[@mathewsjoby6455]

For instance, I host my MERN App and incase I turn my system off, will the Application have access to the server?

[@pjguitar15]

Hey Pedro, I successfully deployed my mern app to heroku but the problem is for some reason, it takes long time to load everytime i reopen my deployed app. How to speed it up?

[@PedroTechnologies]

Interesting! I believe this happens sometimes with heroku because it is free! It depends on the region as well!
