👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

- Deploy your application to production in just seconds with a simple
git push.- Use your own domain name, with automatic HTTPS certificate setup for secure connections managed for you.
- Take advantage of automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing, so you can focus on your code instead of infrastructure management.
- Benefit from high performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure. Your environment is isolated and protected.
Save time and streamline your workflow: your code can be up and running with Stackhero's Python cloud hosting in just 5 minutes.
It is a best practice to manage Python packages using a requirements.txt file. This file lists all necessary packages and their versions to run your code reliably.
Keeping this file up to date ensures:
- All required packages are installed.
- Only compatible package versions are used.
When deploying to your Stackhero instance, the packages specified in requirements.txt are automatically installed.
To generate or update requirements.txt, run the following command after installing new packages:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
