Python + PostgreSQL

Deploy Flask + Postgres in one command

DartUp auto-detects your Flask app, provisions a PostgreSQL database, and injects DATABASE_URL. No Dockerfiles. No database provisioning. No config.

From Flask app to production

Terminal
You:Deploy this Flask app with Postgres
Detected: Python Flask app (requirements.txt)

Claude:Deployed to
https://my-flask-app.dartup.dev
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://dartup:a8k2m...@dartup-my-flask-app-db:5432/myflaskapp

Everything is auto-configured

DartUp reads your project and handles the details.

Your Flask app:

# app.py
from flask import Flask
import os, psycopg2
app = Flask(__name__)
def get_db():
  return psycopg2.connect(
    os.environ["DATABASE_URL"]
  )

What DartUp generates:

✓
Dockerfile — Python 3.12-slim, pip install, gunicorn
✓
PostgreSQL container — Postgres 16, auto-generated credentials
✓
DATABASE_URL — Injected into your app's environment
✓
SSL certificate — HTTPS enabled automatically
✓
Health checks — HTTP health endpoint, auto-restart on crash
✓
SECRET_KEY — Auto-generated if in your .env.example

Compare the workflow

Traditional Flask + Postgres deploy:

  1. 1. Write a Dockerfile
  2. 2. Write a docker-compose.yml
  3. 3. Provision a server (AWS/GCP/DO)
  4. 4. Install Docker on the server
  5. 5. Set up a reverse proxy (nginx)
  6. 6. Configure SSL (certbot)
  7. 7. Set up PostgreSQL
  8. 8. Configure firewall rules
  9. 9. Set up CI/CD pipeline
  10. 10. Debug for 2 hours

Time: 2-4 hours (if everything goes right)

DartUp:

  1. 1. "Deploy this Flask app with Postgres"

Time: 60 seconds
