Updates：Blockchain Development Beginner's Guide
This article is an UPDATES to the following my book. Based on feedback from readers, corrections and supplements to the books are described.
Deployment to Production Environment
The following chapters are related.
0-4 [Preparation] Install FastAPI and create Deta Account
1-7 Deployment to Production Environment
2-4 Deployment to Production Environment
3-7 Deployment to Production Environment
The free cloud service Deta Cloud, used for production deployments in this book, has been upgraded to Deta Space, announced on Valentine's Day, 2/14/2023.
Accordingly, I introduce Render ( https://render.com/ ) as the service to be used for production deployments. Of course, you may use another service. The following is the procedure for deploying using Render.
I hope that you will replace deploying to Deta with deploying to Render in the book.
1 Preparing Files for Deployment
The following two files will be used as sample files.
Filename：main.py
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
# Define processing when a request is made to "/" with the GET method
@app.get("/")
def index():
return {"Hello": "World"}
# Define processing when requested with the GET method in "/items/{item_id}".
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int):
return {"item_id": item_id}Filename：requirement.txt
