Deploying a Python Flask server
Robin Andeer
Recent changes at work has made it clear that our small team of 3 core developers really need to take charge of how we setup things and deployed across our IT infrastructure. I already know I will learn a lot and an important part in that process is to spread gained knowledge beyond simply myself.
In this light, I'm planning to do a series of articles on deployment of a semi-complex Flask server with an accompanying MongoDB database. The contents of this series of posts will evolve over time but for now I'm at least planning to cover:
- Supervisord: babysitting your processes
- Gunicorn/uWSGI: another layer to add speed to your server
- Gulp.js: building and compiling front-end assets
- Vagrant + Ansible: bootstrapping a development environment
- GitHub webhooks: complete deployment automation
I will start with a nifty little utility I just picked up: supervisord.
