Flask Devops: Release Scalable Applications with Heroku

This course will teach you how to deploy your Flask applications to one of the most popular Platform as a Service (Paas) providers in the world: Heroku. With Platform as a Service hosting, you don’t need to worry about the small details, like server provisioning or database tuning. You focus on developing your application and you let Heroku worry about the rest.

Flask Devops is a new series of courses which will cover how to effectively deploy your Flask application to audiences across the world using the most popular hosting providers, while also covering topics like code deployment, continuous integration and delivery, monitoring and architecture. You can get the course about the provider you want or get the whole series in one.

The course covers the basic concepts of the Heroku release cycle and architecture, how to use Git or Docker as your development environment, how to use the built-in Postgres Heroku service or the MySQL plugin providers and routing using your own custom domain.

At the end of the course students will be able to deploy their database-driven Flask applications on the Heroku platform and understand how the release cycle works to update their applications effectively.

If you already know the basics of Flask and you are interested in how to deploy your applications to a hosting service, this is the course for you.
