In this episode of Running in Production, Francisco Barcena goes over building an internal food order processing system for the city of Los Angeles, CA with Flask and Python. It’s hosted on a single DigitalOcean server and has been up and running since 2016.
Francisco talks about developing a freelance project for a client as a solo developer, scraping the USDA’s site, working with Flask-SocketIO to create a real-time ordering service and getting everything up and running on a single server without using Docker, CI or configuration management tools.
