I tried to deploy this node.js app but I have this error message.

I tried and push it on my github repo. But still has this error. I don’t understand. Someone can help me please ? What should I put in Build script ?

Hey, Netlify is JAMStack - https://jamstack.org/ meaning that you can’t run a traditional node server here nor a database. You can now use serverless functions to achieve similar but it is not really the design as netlify is intended to serve static sites. If you are looking to serve a traditional nodejs server I think Heroku could be better suited.

Here are some examples although they may be a tad outdated.

Thank you @AaronP! I wasn’t sure about that so thank you for this confirmation!
