Deployment of Express application on Heroku Error : Cannot find module '/app/server.js'

I've been trying to deploy my Express application on Heroku and the build gets created successfully but when I try to open it, I'm greeted with an error message that basically states that the page could not be served.

So, I run heroku logs --tail and then I get the following error messages :

One half of the error messages

Remaining half of the error messages

Procfile

web: node server.js

Package.json

{
      "name": "conduit-api",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "",
      "main": "index.js",
      "scripts": {
        "start": "node server.js"
      },

      },
      "devDependencies": {
        "cross-env": "^7.0.3"
      }
    }

server.js

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const cors = require('cors');
const { sequelize } = require('./src/entities/User/User');
const db = require('./src/config/Database');
const feedRoute = require('./src/routes/Feed/Feed');
const usersRoute = require('./src/routes/Users/Users');
const userRoute = require('./src/routes/User/User');
const articlesRoute = require('./src/routes/Articles/Articles');
const profilesRoute = require('./src/routes/Profiles/Profiles');
const commentsRoute = require('./src/routes/Comments/Comments');

const app = express();

app.use(cors());

app.use(bodyParser.json());

//  Routes

app.use('/api/feed', feedRoute);

app.use('/api/users', usersRoute);

app.use('/api/user', userRoute);

app.use('/api/articles', articlesRoute);

app.use('/api/profiles', profilesRoute);

app.use('/api/articles', commentsRoute);

// REQUESTS

app.get('/', async (req,res) => {
    res.json('Yooooooooooo')
    try {
        await db.authenticate();
        console.log('Connection has been established');
    } catch(err) {
        console.log('Error');
    }
})

// To START sequelize and also wipes the DB clean

// async function main() {
//     await sequelize.sync({force: true})
// }

// main()

// TO START sequelize 

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.listen(PORT , () => {
    console.log(`App is listening to ${PORT}`);
})

I've tried modifying my procfile and removing and re-installing the modules but the problem still persists.

I've been stuck on this for days now and any sort of help would be highly appreciated.

Looks like you problem is your pointing the main in package.json to a file that doesn't exist.

Package.json

"main": "index.js"

Your app seems to deploy from you server.js file.

The main field is a module ID that is the primary entry point to your program. as per documentation: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json#main
