How to deploy an Express app for free?

Hi, I'm trying my hand at some simple deployment. I'm new to deployment and DevOps in general.

I'm trying to deploy this repo on Heroku, but the app keeps crashing when I run the logs:

heroku logs --tail

Logs:

What is happening, and how to I resolve this? I'm also trying to follow this tutorial on Heroku.

Every thing you deploy on heroku must be listening on $PORT. You should get it by querying the environment variable inside your express app.

I suggest you check devcenter.heroku.com/articles/depl...

You can also see how to do that in the heroku help help.heroku.com/P1AVPANS/why-is-my...
