Serverless App Engine:Create a ZIP package for a Python application

Directory structure of the ZIP package

• You can add only the file or folder in which the application code is stored to the ZIP package. You do not need to include the parent directory of the file or folder.

• If a requirements.txt file is available for an application, you must place the file in the root directory of the package for SAE to install dependencies.

If you want to deploy an application, you can create a ZIP package based on the demo application package that includes the configurations of Gunicorn and Flask. Then, you can upload the package to SAE to deploy the application. In this example, the demo application package is used. For more information, see hello-sae-python.zip.

.
├── app
│   └── hello.py
└── requirements.txt (Optional. This file must be placed in the root directory of the package.)

Step 1: Create a ZIP package for a Python application

Run commands or use a file compression tool to include the application directory in a ZIP package. The following section describes how to create the ZIP package by running commands.

1. Run the following command to download the demo application package:

   wget https://sae-demo-cn-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/demo/1.0/hello-sae-python.zip

2. Run the following command to decompress the package:

   unzip hello-sae-python.zip

3. Optional:Add custom code for your application based on your business requirements.

4. Run the following command to create the package:

   zip -r hello-sae-python.zip app requirements.txt

Step 2: Deploy the Python application

Procedure

For more information, see Deploy a Python application by using a ZIP package in the SAE console.

Additional configurations for the application

gunicorn -w 3 -b 0.0.0.0:8080 app.hello:app
