Deploying a simple Flask app
So my personal website is a simple Flask app.
I want to deploy this to a server but I don't know where and I was considering using serverless. So I started looking into services that could help host my app and found Vercel. Since it is FaaS, I can deploy a simple Flask app with their CLI. I set it up by copying their example here.
I was able to get up and testing with vercel dev
. Then when I was happy I ran vercel
to deploy.
To be honest it was wasy to easy to get up and running. The only thing I don't like is that it will not rerender
my pages when I am in dev mode with vercel dev
.
It has live reload but only for the python code not for the Jinja templates.
