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.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored the world of containerization and deployment. We began by discussing what containerization is and why it is useful for modern software development. We then introduced Docker, the most popular containerization technology, and learned how to use it to package and deploy React and Flask applications.

Next, we explored the use of Docker Compose, a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. We learned how to use Docker Compose to orchestrate the deployment of our applications across multiple containers.

We also delved into AWS ECR, a fully managed container registry service that allows developers to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images securely and reliably. Finally, we looked at AWS Elastic Beanstalk, a service that simplifies the process of deploying, managing, and scaling web applications. We learned how to deploy our dockerized React and Flask applications to Elastic Beanstalk with all the features with...
