Hi Shunmugarajan,

The index.html should be in your dist folder. Perhaps force a full rebuild.

Thank you for your reply sir. I don't have any index.html file sir. Because I am using Nx and Angular CLI(https://nx.dev/angular). Multiple application developed here. If once build application, i got index.html except api.

While build api (ng serve api --prod) I got 2 files only (main.js and main.js.map).

I have 3 application in NX angular structure.

1. Student

2. Teacher

3. Api - ( This for mock api )

I have successfully deployed 1 and 2 in production. But I couldn't deploy API. I want to deploy api (mock api) for mobile development service.

Hi,

Well, your nest server is not a web-app, but a server app. So it doesn't have an index.html. It needs to be hosted in a different way. How? that highly depends on your setup and on your stack.

If it is just a few functions, you can use firebase function, amazon lambda, or azure functions. (there are more)
When it's more of an app, and needs some more, you might want to look up nodejs hosting.
