Deployment on heroku failed

I want to deploy my exiting project on heroku, but it gives me an error.

structure of my file:

___instagram
  __backend
    _controllers
    _images
    _middleware
    _models
    _node_modules
    _routes
    _utiles
    .gitignore
    app.js
    package-lock.json
    package.json
    Procfile
  __ui
    ...

commands:

E:\Coding\projects\instagram>git add .

E:\Coding\projects\instagram>git commit -m "update controllers" 
[master 086d891] update controllers
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

E:\Coding\projects\instagram>cd backend
E:\Coding\projects\instagram\backend>git push -f heroku master

after the last command (git push -f heroku master) i got this error:

E:\Coding\projects\instagram\backend>git push -f heroku master

Heroku buildpack looks at the top-level (root) for package.json.

The solution here is to use git sub-trees. I too was facing this issue where I had a Monorepo MERN codebase in which I wanted to deploy my server using Heroku and client via Vercel.

I have written a blog post regarding this, I'm sure you'll get an idea regarding a solution to this.
