How to Deploy a Node.js App to Render.com for Free (Heroku Alternative)

In this video I will teach you how to deploy a Node app for free to render.com. Render is a free hosting platform, similar to Heroku for static websites, web apps like Node.JS and more.

thanks, i didn't specify the process.env.port, so it didn't go live, but with that added it works flawlessly. thanks bra!

[@Akiramenai04]

Thank You so much CodeBrah. Your channel name sounds like a hero who saves his county from some mischievous evil and you exactly did the same for me. Keep it Up !

[@SvitlanaYudina]

Thank you very much!!!🥰 You saved me and my backend!🥳 Special thanks for the detailed description of what needs to be indicated in each field. I would not have thought of writing "npm install" in the BUILD COMMAND field. And thanks for the typescript! That you said that after the installation you need to write a TSC! You are a true professional. 😎Good luck to you!!!❤

If I want to deploy an eCommerce website and use it, can I stick with the free plan or should I upgrade? In that case, should I consider alternatives to Render, like Heroku?

2:13 You don't need to delete the node_modules folder. Just create a .gitignore file and add "node_modules" to it. This will tell git to ignore it.

LMAO He is doing his way leave poor the poor guy.

Hi Friend, I have an Angular application with webservice in Render with my application I create rooms and generate a code for each room, as when accessing this room in another browser I receive the message below: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () (Page Not Found) . Do you know what might have happened?
