  1. Hi there! Really good artcle! Just one minor thing mate, when you are creating the Express application and defining the port, I think you should be first grabbing what it comes from the environment variable and then user port 3000 as fallback, so something like: const port = process.env.PORT || 3000; as you did for example with the statusCode.

  2. Hey, great article! Just a small suggestion, when setting up the Express application and specifying the port, it might be beneficial to prioritize fetching the port value from the environment variable first, and then fallback to using port 3000 if it’s not available.
    Thank you.
