python-getting-started VS athena-gmail

For those of you who are new to Python (as I am), I used the Getting Started on Heroku with Python documentation as a helpful guide.

After setting up a Heroku account, we’re nearly ready to deploy. Let’s walk through the steps.

I did set that as the video tutorial from codemy.com that I was watching instructed to do so. But I was able to solve this issue I believe by following the settings.py file on this Github repo (which included moving the whitenoise middleware after the security middleware) and adding STATICFILES_DIRS = BASE_DIR / 'static' (along with deleting the old syntax that I had commented out) while following the steps (including manually running 'python manage.py collectstatic') on this Stack Overflow answer. Now time will tell if the static files will persist or if I will run into an issue when the Heroku dyno restarts.

Here's Heroku's own guide to hosting a python site: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python

I’ve also built connectors for Amazon Athena (see this GMail one one) that can query live APIs.

I have a repo here with a sample Dockerfile/requirements.txt and instructions for building/testing that might be useful? You’ll need to upload your image to ECR, but that’s shown in the readme.
