Hi there, glad you found us :wave: before we can help you, we need a little more information on the issues you are facing.

First, have you looked through this resource? It is a compilation of all of our build and deploy resources. This is a good starting point.

If you have worked through those guides and are still encountering issues please share the following information:

  • the name of your build instance: “example-jones.netlify.com”
  • a full copy of your recent deploy log
  • any error messages you have received in your terminal window or in the developer console (looks like you shared one above, are you receiving this message consistently?)

Thanks!

Hi, @RiyaMunjal. The likely explanation can be found in this support guide:

You cannot run an express server at Netlify unless it has be modified to run as a serverless function.
