Everything you need to build a real SaaS application
Fullstack Flask goes beyond other courses in covering every detail required for a production application.
Here are ten things you will be able to do when you take the course:
- Build the backend and frontend in Python with Flask
- Persist data with PostgreSQL
- 100% Test Coverage
- Handle real payments with Stripe.
- Setup and run delayed jobs queues
- Send emails to your users
- Build user authentication
- Learn how to deploy the entire architecture to production
- Tune the performance of the server and queries
- Build the foundation for your income-generating SaaS side-project or company

👋 Hey there! I'm Sumukh, the author of this course
I work at AngelList and previously helped teach Python and Flask at U.C. Berkeley to thousands of students. I've helped a lot of people learn Flask but along the way I noticed a problem with the tutorials and books that people were using.
The problem was that tutorials would skip the actual problems you would encounter as a full-stack developer trying to deploy a maintainable and scalable application in production.
To solve this this problem, I decided to create this course: A guide that doesn't just cover the basics, but one that teaches how to solve all of the problems you will run into when developing a web application using Flask.
It's the guide I wish I had when I was getting started, and I think you're going to love it.
What We Will Build
In Fullstack Flask I will teach you how to use the full power and expressiveness of Python to build a fully functional income-generating web app from scratch using Flask.
Introducing Yumroad
In this course, we'll build Yumroad: a service for selling digital products online
Real-world architecture
We're not going to build a simple web-server and be done with it - no way. Instead, we're going to build out the full architecture of a real-world app. That means, databases, delayed jobs, sending emails, monitoring performance, and a whole lot more.
Payment Forms and Webhooks
We'll implement custom payment forms -- and implement the server hooks to make them work
Stripe Integration
We'll integrate with Stripe to handle payments for our digital products
Send emails
Our applications often have to email users and in this course, we'll show you how to do it
Work with APIs
We'll work with third party APIs to get real world data and bring it into our application.
Fullstack Flask vs. Other Courses
Fullstack Flask can help you save time, money, and frustration vs. going with other courses.

Why this course is different? Production Ready Features
Fullstack Flask covers the code for the backend and the frontend, but goes way beyond into production-level details that are often ignored by other courses. Here's a few examples:
Error Handling
Errors happen, but they don't have to take down your app (or go unnoticed!) . In this course, we'll show you what the pros do: handle their errors using an error handling service like Sentry
Delayed Job Queues
You don't want to handle long-running requests in your main web server. Instead, pros setup "delayed jobs", which are worker processes that can perform long-running tasks in your app. We cover how to set these up (and deploy them!) in the course
Debugger
It would be great if our code ran perfectly the first time, but sometimes we need to debug. In the course, we'll show you how to use the debugger in Python - in your browser!
100% Test Coverage
Tests are a must in any pro application. The app in Fullstack Flask has 100% test coverage and we show you how to write the tests
Use the SQLAlchemy ORM
SQLAlchemy is an ORM what is super powerful. In the course we'll show you how to use this ORM - and it's related devtools
Deploy the whole thing
The app has an architecture that is more than just a web-server. With a database and delayed jobs, there are several moving pieces - and we show you how to deploy them all in this course

Questions you might have
Here are answers to some common questions
Yes! Flask comes with the basic components to run a web server. Later you can import other libraries and everything you need to scale your web application to where you want to. It's easier to start with Flask because it doesn't throw at you all the components. It's just throwing you a minimal set of things, one at a time.
The Python Developer's Survey of 2019 ran by the Python Software Foundation showed that Flask is the most popular Web Framework used by Python developers. - Yes!

The sample project we will be developing throughout the course will be an online marketplace like Gumroad. Inside of the marketplace you will be able to create stores, integrate payment processors like Stripe, and much more.
The entire application you will build throughout the course has 100% code test coverage. What that means is that the test hit every line of code, making sure it works properly.
When joining the course, you'll be invited to our community Discord where you can chat with fellow students.
You'll log in to your newline account and progress through the lessons. You'll also be able to download the completed application and videos.
I teach the concepts of the course in a very simple way, so anyone with a basic understanding of Python can follow along.
