Overview of this book

Developing an interactive, efficient, and fast enterprise web application requires both the right approach and tooling. If you are a web developer looking for a way to tap the power of React’s reusable UI components and the simplicity of Flask for backend development to develop production-ready, scalable web apps in Python, then this book is for you. Starting with an introduction to React, a JavaScript library for building highly interactive and reusable user interfaces, you’ll progress to data modeling for the web using SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL, and then get to grips with Restful API development. This book will aid you in identifying your app users and managing access to your web application. You’ll also explore modular architectural design for Flask-based web applications and master error-handling techniques. Before you deploy your web app on AWS, this book will show you how to integrate unit testing best practices to ensure code reliability and functionality, making your apps not only efficient and fast but also robust and dependable. By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired deep knowledge of the Flask and React technology stacks, which will help you undertake web application development with confidence.

Deploying React and Flask applications to AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a fully managed AWS cloud service that allows developers to easily deploy and manage web applications and services on AWS. AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides a platform that simplifies the process of deploying and managing web applications on AWS by automatically handling the infrastructure provisioning, load balancing, and scaling of the application.

You can deploy Elastic Beanstalk on a wide range of programming languages and web frameworks, including Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Go. Elastic Beanstalk also integrates with other AWS services such as Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon SNS to provide a complete solution for building and scaling web applications.

With Elastic Beanstalk, developers can easily focus on coding. Once you are ready to deploy your application, you can simply upload your application package or link to a repository, and then choose the appropriate platform and environment...
