I recently launched a nodejs project to heroku and the build was successful. heading to the default or initial page of my nodejs shows a message "hello this is backend" which is what I set it up to say. When I try to make requests though is when It starts to timeout for no reason. I suspected it would be a mongodb network access issue, I set network access to everyone, still in the same place. Heres my build log I get when I make requests. Any help is greatly appreciated.

the problem was that I wasnt taking out the .env file from the .gitignore so it never had access to the port number or mongoDB string.
