Webel IT Australia offers Docker containerisation development services and deployment to Virtual Private Servers integrated with the powerful Traefik reverse-proxy technology. We know exactly how to use a Dockerfile, and how to use a docker-compose.yml and other supporting YAML and configuration files to manage deployment of multiple application services using Traefik, including secure HTTPS, and how to use environment variables and scripts for flexible deployment.
If you are not familiar with Traefik, it is a cloud native reverse proxy (which is a technical term for "getting something up on the web with services securely exposed on a chosen port"). In many cases, a RESTful web service does not need, nor benefit from, having a full web server such as Apache or Nginx in front of it. If you have a Python REST app that uses FastAPI and Uvicorn as an internal server within your Docker container you are definitely better off with Traefik!
Within Australia we highly recommend VPS Blocks or their Cloudlets JElastic and ElasticVPS cloud hosting service (pay only for the services that you use according to your development and customer load). Administration of modern JElastic Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is MASSIVELY easier than using AWS and wrangling with its overly complex infrastructure! The VPS Blocks company is as good as an IT service provider gets, with very knowledgeable and helpful support staff, good customer consoles, and the latest in data centre technology hosted in Melbourne.
And you won't be left in the lurch. Webel IT Australia has been in operation for over 25 years and manages VPS deployments using exactly the technology stack described above. We also thoroughly, and securely, document the deployment steps so that you have an exact record of what was done why and how for your own team.
Using Python for REST web services and OpenAPI? So do we! And we can test your deployment using Postman:
