Hi @ekafyi
This dist
directory is that you will publish. Note that you cannot run a server on Netlify (the documentation you linked to mentions running the backend on Heroku or other such service.)
Documentation for netlify.toml
available here. In its simplest form you might only specify a build command
and publish
directory
# e.g
[build]
command = "npm run build"
publish = "dist"
If you are working with functions that aren’t in netlify/functions
(default location) you will need to specify this location
# e.g
[build]
command = "npm run build"
functions = "lambda"
publish = "dist"
