No functions deployed when deploying repo

Have I missed a step in getting the app to talk to the server.js file?

No, Netlify just doesn’t provide the kind of runtime node.js type hosting necessary for you to host that file.

See:

[Support Guide] Can I run a web server, HTTP listener, and/or database at Netlify?

Last reviewed by Netlify Support on December 2022 How do I run a server/database at Netlify? We often get questions about how to run a specific backend server or database at Netlify. Examples of these types of questions include: How to I get my node HTTP listener to respond to requests? How do I start Mongo/MySQL/<insert-some-database-here> running on the server? How can I SSH into my website? We are here today to answer these questions - and the answer is: you can’t! What do you m…

You don’t need to host your own server on Netlify, all your static files are deployed to and served automatically from the CDN.

If you want to provide convenience routes for your Netlify functions you would do that with rewrites & proxies.

For example this

const searchRouter = require("./client/netlify/functions/search");
const rankedRouter = require("./client/netlify/functions/ranked");
const historyRouter = require("./client/netlify/functions/history");
const matchRouter = require("./client/netlify/functions/match");
const leaderboardRouter = require("./client/netlify/functions/leaderboard");
const championMasteryRouter = require("./client/netlify/functions/championMastery");

app.use("/search", searchRouter);
app.use("/ranked", rankedRouter);
app.use("/history", historyRouter);
app.use("/match", matchRouter);
app.use("/leaderboard", leaderboardRouter);
app.use("/champion-mastery", championMasteryRouter);

Could be in a _redirects as something like:

/search  /.netlify/functions/search  200
/ranked  /.netlify/functions/ranked  200
/history  /.netlify/functions/history  200
/match  /.netlify/functions/match  200
/leaderboard  /.netlify/functions/leaderboard  200
/champion-master  /.netlify/functions/championMastery  200

As functions automatically deploy to /.netlify/functions/filenamehere
