During development, you set a port that Node listens to.
app.listen(5000);
That doesn’t work with Heroku because Heroku binds your port and you cannot set it yourself.
You’ll get an error: Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch.
Fix this with environment variable process.env.PORT:
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(PORT);
