How to go LIVE with a Flask project using Render Deployment Platform

This page explains how to go live with a Flask project on Render, a popular deployment platform. For newcomers, supports the deployment for all major languages, Free Certificates, DDoS protection, and auto deploys from GitHub.

Render Account Creation

The Sign UP is provided via classic Email and Social Authentication for well-known providers like GitHub, GitLab, or Google. Once the sign-up process is finished, the user is redirected to the dashboard.

Create a new project

All projects that use a dynamic language during runtime (Python, NodeJs) should be created as web services. This option can be found in the navigation bar, as shown below:

Link GitHub Repository

The next step is to associate a Flask project with the newly created web service. Render support account linkage with external platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket. In our demonstration, an open-source repository is used as a working sample.

👉 Here is the Render UI that allows the project association with the web service

The project settings

Before going LIVE, we need to configure the future web service. Here is the information required by Render:

  • ✅ The name of the project (mandatory)

  • ✅ The root of the project (leave it blank)

  • ✅ Environment: for a Flask project, we should select Python

  • ✅ Region: only if the location of the server is relevant

  • ✅ Source Branch: the main branch is used

A visual representation of the above settings used to deploy the project can be found below:

The next step is to specify the billing plan for the project. Render platform, at the moment this material is edited, provides a free plan only for static sites built with React, Vue, Next, and all other frameworks.

The last step in this tutorial is to expand the "Advanced" section and provide a few Environment variables required by Flask and the Stripe feature.

  • ✅ Debug Flag: False (the recommended value in production)

  • ✅ SERVER_ADDRESS: Used by Stripe to redirect after a payment

  • ✅ Stripe Secrets: PRIVATE and PUBLIC keys (provided by Stripe)

An important aspect of the build is the automatic deployment that is enabled by default. In this sample, a manual build is used, just to have full control over the deployment flow.


Trigger Manual Deployment

The LIVE version of the project can be updated and even rollbacked anytime with ease via the UI. Here are the steps required by the LIVE update:

  • ✅ Access Manual Deploy Option

  • ✅ Select Deploy a specific commit

  • ✅ Add the commit HASH to be used (provided by Github)

  • ✅ Confirm/select the commit

  • ✅ Confirm the action and trigger the deploy

👉 Step #1 - Select Specific Deployment Option

👉 Step #2 - Select the GitHub commit to deploy

Once the Render platform starts the build, the state of the web service is flagged as "IN Progress" and soon the updated version should be LIVE.
