Answer 1

Here's how I make my Angular app to deploy and work on Heroku:

1. Your server.js should look something like this: https://hastebin.com/zavehahide.js
2. In your package.json, move @angular/cli and @angular/compiler-cli from devDependencies to dependencies
3. Also in your package.json, add postinstall: ng build --prod and start: node server.js to scripts

You should be good to go.
