Deploying a Flask Application Using Heroku (Summary)
Congratulations, you now know how to create a web application using Flask and how to make it publicly available by deploying it with Heroku. You also know how to set up different environments where you, your team, and your customers can review the app before publishing it. While the example application created in this video course is very small, you can use it as the starting point for your next project!
In this video course, you learned how to:
- Create a Python Flask example web application
- Deploy the web application using Heroku
- Implement a deployment workflow using Heroku pipelines
- Manage configuration and secrets for different environments in a secure way
Heroku offers many features that weren’t covered in these lessons, including scaling, databases, and more. Check out the Heroku Dev Center and the Heroku platform documentation to learn about other features that will help you accelerate your development. Finally, check out the tutorial series Flask by Example to see how you can create and deploy a more complex application.
