Heroku - Request timed out for fetching request - node.js

Question

On localhost:5000/posts my data is successfully showing but if I do the same thing in Heroku: https://rest-in-peep.herokuapp.com/posts I get an application error. https://rest-in-peep.herokuapp.com/ works fine and I deployed it through Heroku GIT. I made sure to config my environmental vars in Heroku and added a Procfile but I am still getting this application error. I've been trying all day to figure this out but what I expect to happen is if I type in https://rest-in-peep.herokuapp.com/posts, I will get all the data that is being stored on my MongoDB database.
app.js file
const http = require("http");
const express = require("express");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const cors = require("cors");
require("dotenv/config");
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
//Middlewares
app.use(cors());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
//Import Routes
const postsRoute = require("./routes/posts");
app.use("/posts", postsRoute);
//ROUTES
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("We are on home");
});
//Connect to DB
mongoose.connect(
process.env.DB_CONNECTION,
{ useNewUrlParser: true },
() => console.log("connected to MongoDB")
);
//How do we start listening to the server
server.listen(process.env.PORT || 5000, () => {
console.log("App now running on PORT");
});
