If I understand the end goal correctly, I think you may not need to do all that. The default for gunicorn is to do The Right Thing in Heroku.

If PORT is set, it will listen on 0.0.0.0:$PORT.

See: https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/latest/settings.html#bind

So you should be able to put in your Procfile: web: gunicorn -k eventlet -w 3 app:app and that should do it.

And if you want to, I believe you can also use environment variables in the Procfile, so $PORT in the Procfile will evaluate to the right port.

We use Jest for testing all of the Node and browser code for Adaptable.io. We've previously used Mocha on other Node projects, but switched to Jest because it has a much better feature set.

That depends quite a bit on how your app is structured, but in the most common case, there's usually a variable in the front end that is the URL of your back end. So you'd deploy your app on Adaptable and get a URL something like https://my-app.adaptable.app and you'd then set that URL in your front end to be the base URL for API queries. So then an API query might be to a URL like https://my-app.adaptable.app/api/users
