How to Deploy A FullStack React App to HEROKU | EASY!!!!

A good alternative to AWS is Heroku. Heroku is a cloud-as-a-service platform that supports multiple languages.
Heroku is much simpler or easier to use compared to other cloud as a service platforms including AWS. The Heroku platform provides a set of capabilities that deliver higher-order value. With Heroku, there is no need to learn about server configuration, network management, or tuning the latest version of a database. Heroku removes obstacles so developers can focus on what they do best: building great apps.

Absolute legend, clean explanation. Step-by-step and with no skips/edits/movie magic (you're excused for the npm start edit because I get why you wouldn't want a revert step inside a tutorial :P)

My only criticism is in the VERY important app.get('*', ...) function and possibly app.use(static usage with express.static) as someone (like myself) may have stumbled on this video without watching previous bits ... those were only mentioned rather than explained.

Overall excellent tutorial and helped me a lot!!

Thank you again ! Been watching this video and the one about deploying the app on EC2, both greatly educative.
One question though, the way on both occasions that you pass the React built files to the client is through the back end, and I'm a bit lost, isnt it usually directly the role of the HTTP server (apache or enginx) ?
Is this commom practice to call an express app that responds with the built react client app, and I'm just poorly educated on the subject ? (perfectly reasonnable possibility ^^)
