Overview

Flask-Live-Starter is a robust framework designed to streamline the process of deploying Flask applications. While developing locally is often straightforward, transitioning to a live production environment can pose a challenge. This boilerplate project simplifies that transition, leveraging best-of-breed tools to ensure a smooth deployment process. With built-in automation for provisioning and managing the server environment, Flask-Live-Starter helps developers focus more on coding and less on configurations.

This starter kit is particularly beneficial for those who want to set up a production-ready Flask application with essential infrastructure components without getting bogged down in the complexities of manual configurations. By incorporating Fabric tasks, it facilitates the deployment, backup, and monitoring of Flask applications seamlessly.
