I am running a react app that uses express as a backend. I followed this tutorial on how to connect the two then deploy to heroku. In short I am running express on port 5000 as instructions tell me to, and on client side in the package json proxy to port 5000. from server side I run a npm tool called concurrently that runs both in tandem.
Now the problem is the npm run build only seems to be half working. the page loads for a split second on port 5000 (before run build I would use port 3000) disappears leaving only my custom background colors. no errors i can see either for server side or react app side.
I tried changing the server's port numbers first thinking this was the issue as serve -s build runs the app on port 5000 which likely conflicted but the same issue remains.
Please let me know what code If any I can show to help diagnose this as Im afraid I do not know what to present other than my file layout (see the tutorial's link I have the same overall layout) and bellow will be my package jsons for client and server respectively.
