Troubleshooting Render Deployment

If you encounter issues with the deployment:

1. Check the build logs in the Render dashboard
2. Make sure the build process is creating the dist/index.js file
3. Try manually setting the Node.js version to 18.x in the Environment settings
4. If all else fails, the application will fall back to using the simple server.js file

Render Deployment Notes

• The free tier of Render will automatically spin down your web service after 15 minutes of inactivity
• When a new request comes in, Render will spin up your service again, which might take a few seconds
• This is perfect for personal projects and demos
