This project was originally deployed with Heroku. While it still could have been deployed there with the removal of their free tier it was moved to Render. Typically deployment of an Express app would follow the process listed here, but this was a migration following the steps here. The migration process was also very straight forward and while you will most likely follow typical deployment just incase there is something you would like to migrate to Render yourself.
