Tech Stack:

This app was built with the following:

• Python
• Flask
• SQLite(development DB)
• PostgresQL(production DB)

Deploying a Flask App to Heroku:

• pip install gunicorn
• pip freeze > requirements.txt
• Ensure your requirements.txt is in the project root folder, else your heroku application will fail to deploy.
• Create a Procfile in the project root folder and add the following line: web: gunicorn run:app
• Save and commit all changes then ... git push heroku master
