Skip to main contentFlask is a lightweight and flexible Python web framework designed for building web applications quickly and easily. It provides the essentials for routing, request handling, and templating without enforcing a specific project structure, making it highly extensible with third-party libraries. Flask is ideal for both small projects and large applications, providing developers with full control over components such as databases, authentication, and caching, while keeping the core simple and minimal.

It also covers creating a database in Sevalla and choosing between Nixpacks or a Dockerfile, with guidance on configuring your application based on the selected deployment method and instructions for deploying the application.
Background tasks
The Background Tasks section explains how to add background task workers to your Flask app using Celery and Redis.
Caching
The Caching page explains how to configure Flask-Caching using Redis and how to fully leverage Sevalla’s CDN and edge caching to maximize performance.
Health checks
Health checks explains the options available to integrate health check endpoints into your Flask app for zero-downtime deployments.
