Production

If you are starting with this boilerplate to build an application for prod deployment, there is a serve.py that wraps the Flask application with a basic logger.

Issues

If you run into permission issues like below,

# flask-psycopg2-starter/
$ make install
virtualenv venv
make: ./make-venv: Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1
$ chmod +x make-venv # should fix the issue

If you run into issues installing psycopg2 on macOS, refer to this StackOverflow post. Personally, I had to set following flags such that compiler can find openssl:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
