ho guys, i want to deploy my next.js application to vercel. well there's no problem about that. But for the reason of a scalable application i have my used backend written separately in Node.js. I also want this to be used with the Next.js Frontend preferably by hosting it on vercel.
So is this possible by default? I don't understand how to achieve this and what will be the necessary steps after having the backend, say, deployed on vercel.
Can you elaborate?
unfortunately you cannot host a backend on Vercel. If you want to host a backend simply you should look at Heroku or Railway. You should then be able to connect your Vercel frontend to your backend hosted by Heroku or Railway

I am using sandbox account of openshift and deployed one react frontend and one node backend app however from frontend when i am calling backend location URL generated by openshift, frontend is crashing. i researched a little and cam eot know that both have to be on same network. How to make sure they can talk to each other? I am new to openshift please help.
I have built a simple application, with backend and frontend separated.
I don't know how to deploy the backend to Heroku.
I have a react native app that I'm building using expo. For the backend, I am using node.js and Express.
My app hierarchy is such that I have a frontend folder and a backend (server) folder. For example,
Root
|
|Frontend
|Various screens & associated files
|Server
|Routes & other files
For my project, is it possible to just host the backend and not the rest of the app? Such that when I fetch data in the frontend using HTTP requests, instead of routing through localhost (http: //RandomIP:PORT/route) I would use the heroku address as the routing address. I would also host the SQL database along with it.
I tried to follow along with the Heroku documentation, but it seemed like that was for hosting the entirety of the app / web apps instead of mobile, and I ran into constant errors.
I would like to point out that, unlike web pages, mobile apps cannot be hosted on the server and fetched on-demand. In other words, do not try to upload your react-native code to Heroku instead just upload your backend only and then make HTTP requests through the URL provided by Heroku after you have deployed your code.
Therefore go into your backend codebase, initialize a git repository and just deploy that Heroku. Also, you will need to host your SQL database on another service such as Google's Cloud SQL or Amazons AWS Database Services.
How can we deploy the nodejs with SSL certificates,
I have expressjs for API, reactjs for front-end and angular for backend,
i need a path like - https://www.domainname.com - for frontend https://www.domainname.com/admin for admin and expressjs api run on background with https. like https://www.domainname.com/api/register
I have merge the expressjs and reactjs into one project and it works fine on local machine but how i can run the admin like - http://localhost/admin (it works with port like http://localhost:4200) but i want with admin. Please let me how to achieve.
You could host your admin application separately and use a CDN like Cloudflare to serve it as a subdomain (admin.domainname.com). Cloudflare comes with free SSL.
I am deploying a React.js front-end (built with create-react-app) and a back-end with a CRUD API that connects to Cloud SQL.
Is this a good way?
React.js front-end is a default service.
Back-end API is backend service
I'm familiar with deploying to Heroku, which had front-end and back-end on different ports. Would that work for App Engine?
This is all in Node.js.
I don't see any issues with the described design.
To get you on track you can take a look in Stack Overflow thread How to deploy create-react-app to Google Cloud or the following tutorial.
You can run applications on different ports with setting port forwarding in your app.yaml file.
The design pattern is good.
You only need to create a dispatch.yaml file which is only one per project.
Your dispatch.yaml file would look something like this:
dispatch:
- url: "*/backend/*"
service: backend
Then your frontend at project-id.appspot.com will simply make requests to https:/project-id.appspot.com/backend/ *, and these requests will be redirected to the API service.
