Do you guys have any idea? Thank you in advance!!

CodePudding user response：

Your express package is listed in devDependencies in package.json, try moving it to dependencies like so

"dependencies": {
  "express": "^4.17.2"
}

devDependencies should list only packages which are not essential for app deployed in production (Heroku). It might be necessary to move more packages to dependencies not only express.

CodePudding user response：

Make sure the express installed on Heroku. You should add express to the dependencies object in package.json file
