Node.js application keeps crashing on Heroku, gives error Boot timeout

I'm developing a sample node.js application and it runs fine locally with 

node index.js

but, when I push it to a Heroku instance, it crashes with the following errors:

2017-10-23T06:08:07.000000+00:00 app[api]: Build succeeded
2017-10-23T06:08:16.591817+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command node --debug=5858 index.js

My package.json file is set up as follows:

{
  "name": "testapp",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "A little test application",
  "main": "basicRouting.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "ejs": "^2.5.7",
    "express": "^4.16.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {},
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node server.js"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "tutorial"
  ],
  "author": "Debaditya Dey",
  "license": "ISC"
}

Can anyone please help me out regarding this?

In your index.js file, Define your port like this

const port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log("Server listening on port " + port);
});

Please use process.env.PORT for your app instead of using your own.
