Python: Deploying to staging environment

This documentation is part of the Advanced usages guide. View the full guide here: Going further with your Python deployments.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use Python cloud solution designed to streamline your deployment process:

• Deploy your application to production in seconds with a simple git push.
• Use your own domain name, with automatic HTTPS certificate configuration for secure connections handled for you.
• Rely on automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing, so you can focus on your code, not infrastructure management.
• Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure. Your environment is isolated and protected.

Save time and simplify your workflow: you can have your code running with Stackhero's Python cloud hosting in just 5 minutes.

Maintaining separate staging and production environments is highly recommended. To manage multiple environments, start by renaming the current remote repository. For example, rename the remote stackhero to stackhero-production with:

git remote rename stackhero stackhero-production

Next, create a new Python service for your staging environment. Retrieve the git remote add command and modify it by replacing <XXXXXX> with your service's domain:

• Original command:

  git remote add stackhero ssh://stackhero@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:222/project.git
  

• Modified command:

  git remote add stackhero-staging ssh://stackhero@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:222/project.git
  

You can then deploy to either environment using the following commands:

• Deploy to staging:

  git push stackhero-staging main
  

• Deploy to production:

  git push stackhero-production main
  

To enhance the deployment process, we suggest utilizing the improved Makefile version.

With this improved Makefile, deploying to production or staging becomes as simple as running make deploy-production or make deploy-staging.
