How do I deploy a Flask application?

To deploy a Flask application, you can use platforms like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean. Do you have a specific platform in mind?

I was thinking about using Heroku. What are the steps?

First, make sure your app is ready for production. Then, create a Heroku account, install the Heroku CLI, and log in. After that, you can create a new Heroku app and push your code using Git.

What about the database? How do I set that up?

You can use Heroku Postgres for your database. After creating your app, you can add the Postgres add-on and configure your Flask app to connect to it.

Are there any common issues I should be aware of?

Yes, common issues include environment variable misconfigurations and dependency problems. Always check your logs for errors.
