Deploy your Express app to Replit Deployments
Step-by-step deployment help for Express apps on Replit Deployments. We fix Express-specific deployment issues, configure Replit Deployments, and get your app live. From $19.
Express issues we fix before deploying
Common Express problems that affect Replit Deployments deployments.
No helmet middleware for security headers
Express apps without the helmet middleware are missing critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, leaving the app vulnerable to common web attacks.
Missing input validation and sanitization
Request body, query params, and URL params used directly without validation. No express-validator, zod, or joi — enabling injection attacks and unexpected crashes.
Unstructured error handling
No global error-handling middleware. Errors either crash the process, leak stack traces to clients, or get silently swallowed with no logging.
CORS set to allow all origins
The cors() middleware called with no options, defaulting to allowing requests from any website — a security risk for APIs that handle user data.
Replit Deployments deployment issues we check for
Common Replit Deployments problems that break Express apps in production.
Development server used in production
AI tools configure Replit to run the dev server (next dev, vite dev) in production instead of building and serving optimized output, wasting resources and exposing debug features.
Secrets exposed in .replit or replit.nix
API keys and database credentials end up in version-controlled configuration files instead of Replit's Secrets manager, visible to anyone who forks the project.
Reserved VM resources insufficient for workload
Replit's reserved VM allocations have fixed CPU and RAM limits. AI-generated apps with heavy processing or multiple services exceed these limits and get throttled.
Outbound networking blocked on free tier
Free Replit deployments restrict outbound network requests, breaking API calls to external services that AI-generated backends depend on.
