Deploying in Heroku

[dualcnhq]

I tried to do create a new project using create-react-app command, run it locally and then tried to deploy it in Heroku. It deployed successfully but checked the logs, I have this:

From the log it looks like Heroku is trying to start the development server using npm start. The development server in create-react-app should only be used for locally for development. For production, the app should be built with npm run build and then the resulting bundled files served from a web server.

Are you using the Heroku Buildpack for Create React App or some other configuration? The Buildpack for Create React App builds the app and then serves the files as static assets, which is the recommended way to deploy to Heroku. You can find instructions for using this buildpack in Deploying React with Zero Configuration.

Going to close as there is not enough information here to help.
