Trying to deploy Express API but "Application failed to respond"
I have a simple Express API.
I imported it into Railway using Github import.
Then Railway built and deplyed it. I dont see any errors in either build or deploy logs so things look good. ( I have attached the build and deploy logs)
I then generated a public URL which it generated for me (supademo-assignment-production.up.railway.app)
But going on that URL gives me "Application failed to respond". Please help me figure it out. I am pretty new to Railway.

I see that I havent yet provided .env to the project and that's possibly why I was running into this.
Putthing them in Variables and trying again.
Don't use nodemon in production code 
it's best to use the port railway provides rather than overriding the variable
overriding it is really just a backup in case changing the port an app listens on is too much of a hassle
just pop something like that into your code
