Flask skeleton based on weber-minimal with a database and backend support utilities

Weber-Backend

weber-backend is a Flask application template, intended to get you started with a Flask-powered webapp as quickly as possible. weber-backend includes a database layer through Flask-SQLAlchemy, migrations through Alembic, asynchronous tasks via RQ and Redis, and more.

weber-backend puts an emphasis on ease of deployment (with ansible), and not getting in your way while you focus on your actual app logic.

Getting Started

1. Check out the repository
2. Go through the configuration in flask_app/app.yml - most configuration options there are self-explanatory, and you might be interested in tweaking them to your needs.
3. Make sure you have virtualenv installed
4. Run the test server to experiment:

$ python manage.py testserver

Installation/Deployment
