not working on gatsby cloud.

hi there!
I have a problem with gatsby-plugin-nodejs.
Could you take a look at it?

I wanna use nodejs backend service with gatsby frontend togather on a gatsby cloud.
The nodejs backend service will run the login session and store/access some session information to my own database by the gatsby frontend request.

So for this purpose, when I use "gatsby-plugin-nodejs"(the code was committed, built, and deployed on the gatsby cloud) , I can't access to the node.js backend side.
Could you let me know what's wrong with it?
Is it available in build time only to access to the nodejs backend side? (not available after deploying on gatsby cloud?)

thank you in advance.

Hey! For this plugin to work, you have to start the Node.js app the regular way. Gatsby Cloud though, is a static hosting, which means you wouldn't be able to start the server for the app to work, and it'll be only available during the build process.

For deploying Node.js apps for free, I would recommend taking a look at Heroku, or some other cloud platforms like DigitalOcean, AWS, GCloud or Azure - they often offer some free tiers that could withstand your load :)
