NOTE: I am on the free plan of render, the app will go sleep after 15 minutes of being inactive, so the start up may be slow.
This is a demo app that I am getting familiar with the process of how to run the node app with TypeScript and then deploy on render.

git clone git@github.com:victoriacheng15/ts-node-demo.gitcd ts-node-demo# If you are using `npm` or `yarn`
rm -rf pnpm-lock.yaml
npm/yarn install
# If you use pnpm
pnpm installI learned that there are a couple of ways to run the TS node app.
- concurrently
- nodemon
- ts-node-dev
Overall, I like the concurrently method since it installs fewer packages and one less config file e.g. nodemon.json.
The app idea was borrowed from freeCodeCamp - Back End Development and APIs.
