I was working on a project that rendered the react component on the express server running and then delivers the html from the server side. The project consist of two webpack configs file one for the client(react code) and other for the server sending the resolved react code.
But I am facing issue on how to deploy this application.

Maybe you can try this solution extracted from the reactjs official page Example link
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'build')));
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});
app.listen(9000);
In this code the express server app is pointing to the build folder and you just need to route yourself the pages. Indeed, all routes will be quite similar:
...
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});
app.get('/users', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});
app.get('/admin/dashboard', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});
...
As you can see all you need is to deploy the express app and t will do the rest for the react app. For further info, please chech this out: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment/
