Deploy Your Flask App with Vercel: A Step-by-Step Guide

hey flask developers fed up with deployment headaches ersal Lightning Fast deployments effortless scaling and it's all free let's Stitch the hassle and get your flask app live proper folder structure is key for smooth versal deployments we'll establish a virtual environment and organize our project files for Optimal Performance create a fresh new folder and then create a virtual environment in our folder by using the command python space hyphen M vent space V and then hit enter and then we are going to activate the environment by using the command that's showing on the screen here we created the virtual environment in our directory now inside our activated virtual environment let's install flask by using the following command pip install flask folder structure is super important for flask on veral let's carefully set up our project to make sure the deployment goes smoothly let's create our main flask application file named app.py this file contains means the core flask Imports app initialization are index roots that uses a template and instructions to run the app in debug mode e let's create a templates folder this is where versal expects to find our HTML files and inside it we are going to create index.html file to optimize for versal we'll create a static folder adding subfolders for CSS JS and images this setup ensures our assets are easily served during deployment inside that static folder and its CSS subfolder we'll create a style.css file to hold our website styling within our static folder and its JS subfolder let's create a script.js file to store our JavaScript code let's add an images subfolder within our static folder this is where we'll keep all image assets for our website who needs HTML when you can have python errors wait I need HTML we'll save time by using some pre-written HTML for our index.html this lets us focus on the core versal deployment steps let's save some time I have the CSS code ready so we can concentrate on the versal deployment before we go live let's give our project a quick test drive we'll run the flask server locally to catch any potential hiccups to start the server navigate to your project directory in your terminal and run the command python app.py awesome no errors in sight and check out that background animation such a nice Dynamic feel to the page and let me know what you think of the background animation in the comments below all right time for the secret sauce versal do Json this little file plays a huge role in making versal deployment super smooth for our flask app now that we've added this code to versal do Json let's break down what each means for our deployment version two specifies the versal configuration file format we're using builds this tells versal how to build our project Roots this controls how versal handles incoming web requests and here's a heads up it's best to leave this versal do Json exactly as is unless you're really comfortable with versal customizations let's ensure a smooth deployment with a requirements.txt file this tells versal the exact modules our app needs instead of typing them manually we'll use a quick command to do the work for us you should see the command appear on your screen all right time to shift gears let's head over to GitHub create a new repository and upload our project files now let's be careful and add files to our repository exactly as I'm doing this will ensure a smooth deployment to versal all right our files are safely uploaded to GitHub now let's jump into versal we'll be creating a brand new veral account so follow closely and don't miss a step by the end you'll have your flask app ready to be deployed in minutes Next Step connecting your git provider we're using GitHub so let's select that option okay let's bring our flask project into versal since we're not using node.js or next.js we'll go with the import project option versal will show you all your GitHub repositories simply pick the one we just created and continue the setup since our setup is already optimized we don't need to change any settings here let's go ahead and click deploy now versal will do its magic give it a minute or two to work hold on we've got an error perfect this is how we learn let's let's carefully analyze the message and figure out where we need to make a fix okay the error points us to the versal do Json file let's open that up and see what might be a Miss oops someone definitely me forgot to save the versal do Json rookie mistake but a funny one okay easy fix let's save versal do Json and give that deployment another go one of the reasons I love versal it handles those tedious redeployments for you update your code on GitHub and watch your live website it change without any extra effort this is awesome it's deployed and we can see our website's homepage right here on the dashboard let's give it a test run click on that link to open our website in a new tab plus let's copy the domain and check it out in a fresh window for the full experience and there you have it now you can easily deploy your flask projects to live websites this unlocks the ability to build a strong portfolio attract recruiters and turbocharge your career opportunities all right if if you learn something new today give that subscribe button a tap let's see if we can hit 500 subscribers more cool flask stuff coming your way so
