We say we’re polyglots because we offer support to a wide list of programming languages and services deployed through a cartridge. Cartridges can be web frameworks, databases, monitoring services or connectors to external backends.
Delivering services and frameworks through a cartridge offers developers and system administrators a way to get more productivity and standardization. Focus on your code, that’s the message!
Python
Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) defines a simple and universal interface between web servers and web applications or frameworks for the Python programming language.
With Getup you can easily deploy and run PHP applications using your favorite framework and databases. Auto-Scale to millions of users without breaking a sweat about server setup and administration. Forget about servers and focus on the code.
Simplify the lifecycle
Deploying Python application with MySQL is as easy as it can be:
$ rhc app-create App python-2.7 mysql-5.1
The command will create your gear (server), install and configure Python, MySQL and git repository on the server. Access your application on the web at http://App-namespace.getup.io - HTTPS works just fine as well, and all applications have a SSL certificate.
Auto scale
What about scale? Don't worry about it, we are specialists in high traffic, simple add the -s parameter when creating your application and voilá - the platform will scale your application.
$ rhc app-create App python-2.7 -s
The scalability is based on simultaneous connections. The platform will add new gears every time your application receives a traffic spike, automatically.
Frameworks, databases and other tools
Work with frameworks like Django, Flask, TurboGears or Web2Py
$ rhc app-create django python-2.7 --from-code=https://github.com/openshift/django-example.git
Work with database like MySQL, PostgreSQL or MongoDB through cartridges
$ rhc cartridge add mysql-5.1 -a App
