Explore the art of deploying Python web applications with elegance and simplicity. This comprehensive guide will take you on a journey through deploying Python apps on two fantastic platforms: Vercel and Railway.
Are you ready to set sail into the world of web app deployment? Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started, this guide is your passport to deploying Python web applications with style.
We've prepared two exhilarating examples, each showcasing a different platform's capabilities. Follow along, and soon you'll be deploying your Python web apps effortlessly.
- A Python web application using a framework like Flask, Django, or any other.
- Vercel account
- Vercel CLI
-
Create a Python Application: Develop your Python web application locally.
-
Version Control: Ensure your project is under version control using Git.
-
Install Vercel CLI: If not already installed, run:
npm install -g vercel
-
Login to Vercel: Run
vercel login
and follow the instructions to log in. -
Deployment Configuration:
- Create a
requirements.txt
file listing your Python dependencies. - Create a
vercel.json
file for deployment settings:
{ "version": 2, "builds": [ { "src": "vercel/", "use": "@vercel/python" } ], "routes": [ { "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "vercel/app.py" } ] }
Customize paths as per your project structure.
- Create a
-
Deploy Your App:
- Run
vercel
in your project directory. - Confirm settings and choose a project name.
- Vercel will build and deploy your Python app.
- Run
-
Access Your App: Once deployed, Vercel will provide a URL to access your app.
For your convenience, an example Python app for Vercel is included in the vercel/
folder. Dive into its README for a closer look.
- A Python web application.
- Railway account
- Railway CLI
-
Develop Your App: Create your Python web app.
-
Version Control: Ensure your project is Git-tracked.
-
Install Railway CLI: If not already installed, run:
npm install -g railway
-
Login to Railway: Run
railway login
and follow the instructions. -
Deployment Configuration:
- Create a
requirements.txt
file listing your Python dependencies. - Ensure your project has a
Procfile
specifying how to run your app, e.g.,web: python railway/app.py
.
- Create a
-
Create a New Railway Project:
- Run
railway init
and choose a project name. - Link your local project to the Railway project.
- Run
-
Deploy Your App:
- Run
railway up
to deploy your app. - Railway will handle the deployment process.
- Run
-
Access Your App: Railway will provide a URL to access your Python app.
For your convenience, an example Python app for Railway is included in the railway/
folder. Dive into its README for a closer look.
