Predictive Analytics (PP5) : Preparing your code for Render.com

Modifications to prepare for deployment to Render.com.

Unlike Heroku, Render does not need a Procfile or runtime.txt file, as the settings in these are provided in a different way. If you wish, you can remove these files from your submitted project and push these changes to Github, but keeping them in will not cause your deployment to Render to fail.

This process is optional, but keeping your repository clean is always recommended.

Process

  1. Delete Procfile

  2. Delete runtime.txt

  3. Add, commit, and push your changes to GitHub

That takes care of the files required by Heroku. Next we will create a Web Service to host the project on Render.com.
