About The Channel
The knowledge that I share here is mostly from my personal experiences. I wouldn't say I'm a 20 year professional, rather I am just a DevOps / Software Engineer with a lot of experience who enjoys teaching what I know in my spare time. I believe that sharing some of my basic knowledge on this platform can help others get started. There are many ways to program something and the videos you see here are my take on the NodeJS / Typescript / and sometimes Unity world. If this channel helps you learn, or helps you think differently then my job is done 😊.

Great video! It helped me a lot! You have a great voice (or mic setup) for YT, btw! Thanks

[@coreyloftus]

Thanks so much! This helped me clear a blocker with deploying a personal project. Was using ts-node for development, I didn’t realize Heroku needs to have .js files instead.

[@cleo0318]

Needed this. THANK YOU

I needed to confrim one thing. when we deploy our code src and build both. arent we bloating the app size? because afaik ( i have never done this) we tend to combine package.json with build file and upload it to docker image if we are using the container. cant we do same thing here?

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

You don't need the build. For a small package like this it doesn't matter, but for a larger one definitely.

wonderful video brother, bro can u make a video on deployment of webpack on heroku, so basically i created a game by using webpack i'm having difficulty to deploy it,

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

I can look into it, what seems to be the issue

[@rocko6204]

Deploy in netlify please

[@VictorBragaDESIGN]

Such a nice video, but the same error is still showing to me. H10 / Status 503. Any tips for this ? Best regards from Brazil.

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

I'm not sure. I think it's something on Heroku's end.

Now working after adding this
"postinstall": "./node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc"

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

This is a nice work around. Did you have typescript installed as a Dev dependency?

[@parthapaul1249]

@@TheNerdyCanuck yes, but it was taking my global tsc

How to seed database mongo when deployed to heroku

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

You need to pay for the enterprise version, and get a private IP that you can use with Mongo Atlas

[@notyournormaldev1419]

@@TheNerdyCanuck but using mongo atlas was free

[@notyournormaldev1419]

@@TheNerdyCanuck can't be done with some script in package json

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

@@notyournormaldev1419 Yes, but in order to whitelist your IP, you need to get a private IP range from Heroku

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

If you can somehow whitelist all IPs and still have it connect that would be awesome but I don't think it's possible

[@francinelima5195]

Thanks to your video I finally got my first deploy done! Thanks a looot!

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

Yeah no problem :D
