#12Looks to be a good candidate to replace omnipresent nginx based API routers
I have a small flask application which basically is a rest get post API server. I'm struggling to make deployment easy. With PHP, i just push to the application server and rsync that folder into var www html for Apache httpd but what would I do for flask python 3?
Ansible? Puppet? A five line bash script?

Here will go their REST config api to force reloads.
BTW, it is a good idea to always do API versioning on production runs. That will eliminate the possibility that different API versions (files stuck in the cache, or simply people who kept browser open for a long time) use the same endpoint

Use a webserver that proxies requests to a wsgi server. We tend to put Caddy in front of Gunicorn which works really well. Also, look into running Gunicorn under supervisord.

#16So it looks like they basically rewrote uwsgi and slapped a rest api on top of it..
(as a big fan of uwsgi, that seems like a reasonable thing to do...)
Re: Nginx Unit
#17I recently tried to deploy a python flask application, and it was quite a mess. It relied on some services I had never heard of, and the documentation was a mess (not the documentation of Flask but of how to deploy it properly).
If Nginx Unit could host flask applications, it would be great news.

badly need settings like restart works every X requests or harakiri after # seconds timeout.

Oh, and also use Fabric - http://docs.fabfile.org/en/latest/
