When a little web app needs to grow up... the journey from a hobby project to production
summary
Starts as a Flask weekend prototype that emails orders to a vendor, grows into a Python app handling hundreds to a few thousand orders, and ships t-shirts, hoodies, socks, pens, breakfasts and even rubik's cubes. Adds a database (shift to a NoSQL JSON model), a vendor table, redemption codes and an admin form builder, then migrates off always-on servers to a serverless rewrite on a cloud vendor framework to cut erratic monthly costs; ~200 hours so far and it works, iterating as needs change.
