🔒 django and nodejs deployment issue

[slender hawk]

Local Setup (Works Perfectly)

Django runs on 127.0.0.1:8000.
proxy.js runs on 127.0.0.1:3000.
Everything works smoothly — requests are routed properly through the proxy.js server to the Django backend.

Heroku Deployment (Fails)

On Heroku, both Django and proxy.js must run on the same web dyno. Heroku assigns a single dynamic $PORT for the dyno, and this is where things break:

Gunicorn binds to $PORT (this works).
proxy.js tries to bind to 3000 (or another static port) and fails because Heroku doesn't allow multiple ports per dyno.
I’ve tried making proxy.js bind to $PORT instead, but then Django and proxy.js conflict because both try to use the same port.

this is tap.js file it handles the logic of payment gateway api in the frontend

this is my proxy.js which communicate with the api

and this is my structure

the problem is in tap.js and proxy.js which i provided in the links
i need to setup the axios calls for deployment in heroku and i don't know how since in local i can use ports but can't in heroku unless i used two dynos, this is just overkill

Why not move your proxy.js into your Django? Maybe use Django-ninja?

Then you don't need 2 services running separate ports. Its 1 service running the same port, just different endpoints after that

[slender hawk]

can you give me a reference about how the integeration should look like? or maybe something clarifies the idea for me so i can understand😅

[slender hawk]

i mean i understand what you are saying (almost) but what should it look like that's what i don't know

[forest spade]

its like your proxy.js... just in a Python FastAPI like syntax

Have you seen Django-Ninja?

[slender hawk]

well, this looks useful, will i be able to find youtube videos that simplifies the concept for me?

[forest spade]

Have you tried? tbh, the docs are very straightforward

[slender hawk]

wish me luck
