Lets say I have an Express/Node API Backend that is complete and handles all of the HTTP requests.
Now lets imagine that I have a domain called MyApp.com
My question is when uploading a web app to the server in Heroku would you only upload the Nodejs Backend then the Frontend through a regular FTP like a website? Or would you upload both Front and Backend onto Heroku?
I'm curious because a Web App is sort of like a website on the Frontend, only distinct difference would be the Nodejs backend to the Web App. Therefor I imagine the Frontend like a regular website making JSON calls to the Backend in Heroku. Am I correct about this?
