To deploy a NestJS app, you’ll need to customize a few configuration options:

Config	Value
Build Command	`npm run build`
Run Command	`npm run start:prod`
HTTP Port	`3000`

Because NestJS doesn’t use the $PORT env var, you will need to manually set the service’s HTTP Port to 3000.

The npm commands map to the default scripts provided by NestJS in package.json.

Hi @kamaln7 , can you provide an example ? I have 3000 on my yaml and in my code ( await app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);)

But still does not working.

Thank you
