Cannot build nestjs app in nx monorepo with App Platform

I like the simplicity of the App Platform. Can anyone help me with building an nestjs app in nx monorepo, please?

I got this error when I run the build command (yarn nx run my-nest-app:build:production) for an nx repo (https://github.com/rogersnowremoval/nx-test):

Hi,

Can you try force redeploying your app and let us know what happens? If the error persists please submit a support ticket.
