I just hosted my site on Heroku, but when I visited the site, it shows me "internal server error". But one thing I think may cause this error is I use mongoose's url as
mongoose.uri(mongodb://localhost:2725/user
So, Is it Okey to do this way? Or do I have to use cloud databases?
Or am I going use site's url which given by the Heroku instead of the localhost?
local host address is not valid for deploying your app
you must using cloud database
mongodb gives you free database service(mongodb atlas)

I'm currently building a website that I would like to privately host so it can only be used internally. My goal is to store file uploads into a google cloud bucket then document certain things into a cloud sql db for filtering later on.
I've been able to store and pull my files from a bucket and I was also able to set up my database in cloud sql however I'm not totally sure how to send SQL query's to my database from my website. I've tried going through the documentation but I'm a bit lost as to what I need. So if anyone knows what I should be looking at that would be a lot of help. Anything like a guide on the google documentation, because I'm not sure which I need to follow or anything.
Additional information
Currently my website is hosted locally because I haven't decided on a
website hosting service yet any recommendations would be helpful.
I was using a postgres database as practice for creating endpoints and developing my database
structure.
I am using a PERN stack so postgres, express, react and node.js
If there's anything else you would like specified I'm more then happy to provide any additional information.
Update:
I was able to connect my postgres db to cloudsql. I would explain how but this video does a great job of it.
How to connect psql db to cloud sql
However I'm running into an issue when I try to connect using an SSL connection. I have the files my only issue is I don't know where to store these files.
The general recommendation is to use the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy to connect to your Cloud SQL instance.
Basically you'd run the proxy wherever you're running your webapp and then have your webapp connect to the proxy as if it were a local database.
You'll start the proxy like this:
./cloudsql_auth_proxy -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNCECTION_NAME>=tcp:5432
That will start a listener on 5432 on localhost that you can connect your webapp to.
Alternatively, you could use Authorized Networks to allow-list the IP address of the machine where your app runs.
Check out the docs here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/connect-overview.
When i create a localhost nodejs CRUD API i am able to make post request.But when i deployed it in cpanel using nodejs software "Incomplete response received from application"
Please share more information as my preliminary guess is that if you are using MongoDB then you cant run it on shared hosting you should use some other DB like Atlas MongoDB or Mlab
I recommend you host it on Heroku as its also free
Deploy APP to Heroku
Use Any thirParty mongoDB service
Test your CRUD API
I have my own home server, where i have nginx configured and some api's and webs there. also set up a mongoDb server there, the thing is I can't connect from vercel or heroku to it, but when I try to connect from different internet connections like in a coffee shop I can connect and work.
this is the error I get
someone can give me a little help? also I don't know why in map is showing my local IP in the URL that I use already configured my public ip.
So people, I'm planning to build a website with MERN Stack and host it from my local machine. How to do that without using aws or fire base.

Thanks in advance.
One thing is you need to keep your local machine 24*7 for your app to work throughout the day. And for your answer you can expose your localhost to public domain by using static IP address and routing applicable from your router with appropriate firewall rules, all this also requires effort and maybe static IP address requires purchase. With both these together your React app can access the localhost on your machine for operations.
I recently developed a web app locally, with a React frontend that interacts via proxy with a Node.js backend that interacts with MongoDB Atlas. Everything works locally, and I am ready to actually deploy the web app for public use.
How does hosting work with a full stack web application? Do I host the entire web app in the same place (e.g. S3 bucket), or should the backend and frontend be deployed separately? I have never done this before, so I appreciate any help I can get.
Yes, you can have two different servers for frontend and backend.
You can use theHeroku platform to deploy your backend app, and Mlab to provision a Mongo database. These platforms has free tiers where you can experiment and learn about deployments and clouds.
Once you are comfortable with these then you can move to Elastic Bean Stalk on AWS to provision servers and also database.
Now mlab is not available as it is already been acquired by mongoDB only, so I would recommend you to create the database on Atlas cluster which also offers a free tier.
Rather than using the Heroku, I would suggest you to use MongoDB stitch which is also the backend as a service. If you will use stitch then you can also seek for support from mongoDB people but in case you will use heroku then you will not receive any support from them.
You can refer to the documentation of stitch for more information https://docs.mongodb.com/stitch/. This has complete guidance how you can deploy your app using stich and can use mongodb database.
However if you need more help, please ping me anytime.
