Deploying Python code


Deploying Python code
 A deployment environment is a configuration in which a
program runs. Every program has at least one deployment
environment: the production environment.
 The goal of writing a program in the first place is to put it to
work in the production environment and achieve some kind
of outcome.
 Writing or modifying a program requires being able to run it
on the computer you use for developing.
 The configuration of your development environment may be
very different from that of your production environment.

Aspect of code deployment
 What are the main challenges in deploying the code to
remote environments?
 How to build applications in Python that are easily
deployable
 How to reload web services without downtime
 How to leverage a Python packaging ecosystem in code
deployment
 How to properly monitor and instrument code that runs
remotely

The twelve-factor app
 Website: https://12factor.net/
 Software is commonly delivered as a service: called web
apps, or software-as-a-service.
 The twelve-factor app is a methodology for building
software-as-a-service, see introduction: https://12factor.net/
 The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps
written in any programming language, and which use any
combination of backing services (database, queue, memory
cache, etc).

1. Code base: One code base tracked in revision control and


many deploys
2. Dependencies: Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
3. Config: Store configurations in the environment
4. Backing services: Treat backing services as attached
resources
5. Build, release, run: Strictly separate build and run stages
6. Processes: Execute the app as one or more stateless
processes

7. Port binding: Export services via port binding


8. Concurrency: Scale out via the process model
9. Disposability: Maximize robustness with fast startup and
graceful shutdown
10. Dev/prod parity: Keep development, staging, and
production as similar as possible
11. Logs: Treat logs as event streams
12. Admin processes: Run administration/management tasks as
one-off processes

Deployment automation
 Application containerization (Docker and similar
technologies)
 Modern software provisioning tools (for example, Puppet,
Chef, Ansible, and Salt)
 Infrastructure management systems (for example, Terraform
and SaltStack)
 Container orchestrations systems in the style of Kubernetes
that allow you to leverage Docker containers for fast,
maintainable, scalable, and reproducible environments
 Fabric is simple and easy to grasp, so it is a great tool to
introduce someone to the concept of automation

7
Things to Remember
 Programs often need to run in multiple deployment
environments that each have unique assumptions and
configurations.
 You can tailor a module’s contents to different deployment
environments by using normal Python statements in module
scope.
 Module contents can be the product of any external
condition, including host introspection through the sys and
os modules.
