Deploying a static website with a backend api

@cb98 It’s unlikely you could run this project on Netlify in its current form.

Netlify doesn’t provide the type of Node.js hosting it would utilize.

See:

You would need to make a change like:

  1. Adjust the backend so that it uses Serverless Functions.
    or
  2. Host the backend elsewhere (e.g Render) and proxy to it.

In any case, on Netlify you don’t want to run your dev command which starts a server.
You won’t be able to connect to it and it’ll just sit there consuming build minutes until it times out.
