It's needed just to build the front end on dev machine. The front end HTML JS and resource files are embedded into the binary executable during compilation.. so i literally just copy over a binary

You need node to "build" a React app, but not (generally) to serve it. Can typically just stick it on S3 or in an Apache htdocs directory or whatever. Unless your backend is Node and you're doing some server-side-rendering stuff.
