Render.com and Websocket: Connection randomly being closed after 5-ish minutes?
I'm trying out Render.com as a potential replacement for Heroku to host and run my code, which uses Node, Express, and the ws package to connect a game made on Godot Engine and the webapp, using a Websocket connection. However, when I migrated the code over, I've noticed that the game lasts barely a quarter of the way before the server aborts the Websocket connection for literally no reason. I'm serious, it's what the log says:

Planning projects ? Looking for help
Personally with more time I would also use JavaScript so I can improve it. Last time I wrote something with Express and a database connection is a long time ago and not for work, only for my personal testing. But for JavaScript database connection to PostgreSQL I recommend pg-promise. That works like a charm.

DenoDB
During my years as a dev i have really started to dislike ORMs. They always fail in the end. SQL is universal, and transfers between languages and tech fields. This is why im pro-sql, and always try to avoid unnecessary abstractions.
I have actually went back to writing pure SQL in files, and using those as params for whatever db engine i use, this makes it even possible to reuse the code in other projects (even its unlikely that you can use the exact same query, but just as a "it would work" in theory).
For node based projects i have used and would probably still choose pg-promise (https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise).

How to use PostgreSQL with Node?
Since I'm decent at writing SQL queries and I don't want to learn additional syntax to work with ORMs/query builders, I stay as close as possible to the database driver. pg-promise is an excellent library built on top of the Node.js driver for PostgreSQL. It's built with promises in mind, it's well-tested and typed.
