How do you deploy your Python (Web) application? If your setup is container-based you’re likely using Kubernetes. Is it fun? No. It’s complex. It’s a lot of YAML. Maybe it’s okay-ish - if your setup is not too complex -, but it could be better. Less complex, more lightweight. And then again, how does your test suite look like for the deployment process? You don’t have any? Sure, it’s all YAML. Yak!

What if you could do everything in Python? What if you could “associate” workloads, e.g. a database, with your application in the cloud, using Python code? What if you could write tests with Pytest to ensure your deployment continues to work? Does that sound too good to be true?

Canonical has been developing this technology for years. It is proven and solid, yet still exciting to use! Let’s dive into what could be the best you have seen in the last decade for deploying your Python Web application. Say hello to Python and test-driven deployments, ditch YAML and say yes to stability! See a live demo and take home working code to experiment with your own setup.
