Found solution for me here: Heroku + node.js error (Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch) In my case my app crashed because I was hard setting the PORT, instead of using the port that heroku dinamicaly sets, which can be accessed with process.env.PORT app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, function(){ console.log(“Express server … Read more
In most cases they would work equivalently.

I came across this question while looking for the same functionality. @Jonathan Ong mentioned in a comment above that using arrays for paths is deprecated but it is explicitly described in Express 4, and it works in Express 3.x. Here’s an example of something to try: app.get( [‘/test’, ‘/alternative’, ‘/barcus*’, ‘/farcus/:farcus/’, ‘/hoop(|la|lapoo|lul)/poo’], function ( request, … Read more
