Courses Plus Student 587 PointsYour Question is not clear enough, Node.js can create or connect to a server. It all depends on what you're truly asking

809 PointsNo i didn't actually Im confused. If I run this "node app.js" once the code will work with all client right? do I need to run this again in any time?

Courses Plus Student 587 PointsUhmmn..It depends on what the nodejs code does, If it runs and does its function once and requires you to run again, You might need to write a javascript code that requires and runs the nodejs code on the CLI every time its needed. You could contact some of the instructors for help on that.

809 PointsHi, Thanks for your reply. I wrote some nodejs code in app.js file. I want to make it live. My website is hosted in AWS. Code is for something like real time data updation. What is the procedure to achieve it. Is it like upload app.js to aws and run 'node app.js' in CLI?
