      }
    ]
  }

Additionally, there is a small package.json to orchestrate the client and server deploy:

{
    "name": "heroku-mern-atlas-starter",
    "scripts": {
      "postinstall": "cd mern/client && npm install && npm run build && mv dist ../server/public",
      "start": "cd mern/server && npm install && npm start"
    }
  }

The button on the top can be used to deploy this repo into the Heroku.

Input your Atlas Cluster to integrate the service with MongoDB Atlas.
