Deploying python flask app with remote ddbb and failed without explanation

1

I am trying to deploy a public GitHub repo to a web service (it is a toy app). I’ve run it locally and confirmed that it works. It’s a Python flask app that uses an external ddbb (MySql)

I’ve tried deploying it a few times and it’s failed every time. I’m new to Render and truly appeciate any help.

Your server is starting up as it’s supposed to. There are two problems here:

  • we are not sure what port Render expects your service to listen on, so if you have port 5000 hardcoded somewhere I could imagine that Render is expecting a different one, and thus all your requests will fail, plus, Render’s health check mechanism will fail as well, reporting your deployment as failed.
  • It’s better to deploy your app as wsgi. The default template for Django of Render will help you do that.

I recommend giving a good read to that: How to deploy with WSGI | Django documentation | Django

Best of luck! :slight_smile:

Thank you Christos_Alexiou for your help.
I use the gunicorn and everything was ok.
Thanks again
Jorge
