  Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

  Hi, have you tried Render.com? It's free and allows you to deploy Express APIs.

  Also, I've reviewed your GitHub, and NEVER, I repeat, NEVER upload your .env file to a GitHub repository ⚠️⚠️⚠️. You should add it to your .gitignore to prevent it from being uploaded. If you do upload it, you expose sensitive information like credentials. Even with just your MONGODB_URL, someone could delete your entire MongoDB database without needing your MongoDB account. Be cautious.

  You need to configure your application in the hosting to add environment variables.

  Happy coding!

  Hi ! I will take a look to render then . Oh, I change that immediatly, thank you very much for noticing me that. I know about it but for some reason I forgot to add .env to .gitignore.

  Thank you for your help. Have a nice day !
