Previous Heroku user here. I'm forced to try other deployment options due to Heroku removing their Free Tier a few months back. I've deployed a few MERN stack applications to Heroku in the past, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to deploy to render.com. Currently I have my app I'm trying to deploy (here) working perfectly in my local environment, but fails when I try deploying to Render as a Web Service. This is the log I get when trying to deploy:

Jan 18 07:20:13 PM  ==> Cloning from https://github.com/tgoandrex/wheres-waldo...
Jan 18 07:20:14 PM  ==> Checking out commit 3ccd89a93398215a5b71d9b3bd65ac89f461fc15 in branch main
Jan 18 07:20:20 PM  ==> Running build command 'npm build'...
Jan 18 07:20:21 PM  ==> Generating container image from build. This may take a few minutes...
Jan 18 07:21:42 PM  ==> Uploading build...
Jan 18 07:22:11 PM  ==> Build uploaded in 22s
Jan 18 07:22:12 PM  ==> Build successful 
Jan 18 07:22:12 PM  ==> Deploying...

After "Deploying..." it just stays there forever and above that it just says "Failed" with no further information. I cannot find any good documents on MERN stack deployment for Render. Is there a way of making this work or should I try another free option elsewhere that provides better support for MERN stacks?

Settings on Render:

Build Command: npm build
Start Command: npm start
