I don't think this is a better way, this way is only for the cases Apache or nginx is not available to use, I've used this approach for quick and dirty development + staging environment when I've recently created one of my test projects.

I recommend to put express server behind another layer such as nginx in production as @rahmatalimalik5 mentioned.
