Old Heroku website keeps stuck at Building phase during deployment

[cyz]

Hi everyone,

Currently I am trying to deploy a node.js web app which used to be hosted on Heroku. For this project I also used MongoDB.

Now I have tried to deploy my website but for the building it keeps saying “In progress”.

This is the building log:

My website: https://trivatch.netlify.app/
The Github repositories which I deploy from: GitHub - cheunyinz/pt_matching_app

Does anyone know why it keeps saying 'In progress" for a very long time for the building phase. Does it has to do with the error I have in the building log?

Thank you in advanced!

Kind regards,

Cheun Yin

@cyz It will be because your npm run build script executes node server.js.

Netlify and Heroku aren’t the same, and you cannot run a “server” with Netlify.

See:

Last reviewed by Netlify Support on December 2022 How do I run a server/database at Netlify? We often get questions about how to run a specific backend server or database at Netlify. Examples of these types of questions include: How to I get my node HTTP listener to respond to requests? How do I start Mongo/MySQL/<insert-some-database-here> running on the server?

The reason it is “in progress” for a very long time during the build phase is because you aren’t building anything, you’re starting a server which then runs until the maximum execution time is reached and it turns off.
