Exercise 1: Running the Server With No Build Step — Possible Solution ==================================================================== COMMAND ------------------------------ node server.js CONFIRMATION ------------------------------ The server starts immediately - no npm run build, no compiled output directory, no transpilation step of any kind. Visiting http://localhost:3000 serves the full site: the catch-all routing from Chapter 3, the database-backed pages from Chapter 6, and the admin endpoints from later chapters, all running directly from the same source files written throughout the course. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ It correctly runs the single command required, and correctly confirms the site is fully functional with no build artifact ever produced or needed - concrete proof of the chapter's own claim that this is the most minimal deployment story in the series.
