I'm newbie on ReactJs and NodeJs. Before using php programming language I was just uploading to cpanel and creating database on traditional hosting. Now project has finished. But I came across concepts like Azure, Aws and Heroku. My project working like this structure: Front-end : Reactjs Back-end : Nodejs express rest api with mysql(CRUD)

Project works fine locally. And i don't know anything what to do. I searched Azure and Heroku but it is very complicated. What is the difference between them? And i will use send mail. How can i do this? Thanks for your help.

As a beginner, just looking to get your feet wet, I'd recommend deploying your entire app to Heroku.

First make a Heroku account.

To deploy your react API, you'll want to follow this https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-nodejs

Next you'll want to deploy the database itself as an app addon: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb#provisioning-the-shared-mysql-add-on

Lastly, you'll deploy the react app itself: https://blog.heroku.com/deploying-react-with-zero-configuration

This is only one of many approaches you can use.

If you wanted to get more "hands-on" you could deploy this API to on Amazon Web Services with separate services for the database, NodeJS API and the React frontend.

This should serve as a good basis for that and you will learn a lot more than with the Heroku approach.
