Hi everyone, here's a bit more info about using render.com for deploying a backend, as an alternative to Heroku.The process is pretty similar to Heroku for git based deployment. When creating a new app you pick the web service option and then use git as the deployment option. Setting up a database will be a bit different, you can choose PostgreSQL as the db option. And if you use a knexfile setting similar to what I shared above that could work as an alternative to MySQL
Created solution brief https://github.com/nicmart-dev/linguistnow/wiki/Deploy-app-to-production
Deployed server on https://dashboard.render.com/ but need to externalize credentials from json to env variable so server can run.
Server now live on https://linguistnow.onrender.com/
If you do end up using Render.com for deployment. The setup/process is pretty similar to Heroku for Git based deployment
