Test-Driven Development with Python, 3rd Edition

Chapter 10. Making Our App Production-Ready

A Note for Early Release Readers

With Early Release ebooks, you get books in their earliest form—the author’s raw and unedited content as they write—so you can take advantage of these technologies long before the official release of these titles.

This will be the 10th chapter of the final book. The GitHub repo is available at https://github.com/hjwp/book-example.

If you have comments about how we might improve the content and/or examples in this book, or if you notice missing material within this chapter, please reach out to the author at [e-mail].

Our container is working fine but it’s not production-ready. Let’s try to get it there, using the tests to keep us safe.

In a way we’re applying the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to our productionisation process. Our hacky container config got us to Green, and now we’re going to Refactor, working incrementally (just as we would while coding), trying to move from working state to working state, and using the FTs to detect any regressions.

Warning, chapter under construction

As part of my work on the third edition of the book, I’m making big changes to the deployment chapters. This chapter is still very fresh, but the content is all there, so you should be able to follow along.

But as always I really, really need feedback. So please hit me up at [e-mail], or via GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.

What We Need to Do
