Host server on Heroku-CodePudding

I have been trying to deploy a server for my first MERN app for the past week but I can't seem to get it work. It works perfectly when I host it locally but I can't seem to get the heroku server to work it usually crashes with error H10.

index(index.js)

import express from "express";
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import cors from 'cors';
import postRoutes from './routes/posts.js';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';

const app = express();
dotenv.config();

app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: "30mb", extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: "30mb", extended: true }));
app.use(cors());
app.use('/posts', postRoutes);
app.get('/', (req,res) => {
    res.send('Expense Tracker API working')
} )

mongoose.connect(process.env.CONNECTION_URL || "mongodb srv://expensetracker:[email protected]/?retryWrites=true&w=majority");

mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
    console.log("Server is connected with Mongoose!");
});

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 5000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port')
});

package.json

devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars I used this resource to find the answer. I had to set my CONNECTION_URL on heroku and allow my mongodb to be accessed from anywhere.

To solve this problem, we must done with file named Procfile with the following content: web: node ./app.js
