Accepted Answer
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.
