Deploying ML Apps using Python and Flask- Learning about Flask

It has been a long time since I wrote anything on my blog. So thought about giving everyone a treat this time. Or so I think it is.

Recently I was thinking about a way to deploy all these machine learning models I create in python. I searched through the web but couldn’t find anything nice and easy. Then I fell upon this book by Sebastian Rashcka and I knew that it was what I was looking for. To tell you the truth I did had some experience in Flask earlier but this book made it a whole lot easier to deploy a machine learning model in flask.

So today I am going to give a brief intro about Flask Apps and how to deploy them using a service called Openshift.

So What is flask?

Flask is a Python Web Framework that makes it easier to create webapps from python.

And Openshift?

Openshift is a free service(if we only use 1 small instance) which lets us use their services to deploy our flask web-apps.

So that we don’t get lost, let me tell you the flow of this post.
