Deploying Flask to Vercel: A Step-by-Step Guide

Initial Research and Modifications

After some research, I discovered that it's possible to deploy Flask to Vercel, but a few changes are necessary:

  1. Caching Implementation : I've installed caching using the library recommended by ChatGPT.

  2. Removal of CSV File : Vercel doesn't allow saving files to the file system as it's read-only. Instead of using a CSV file:

    • The get_products function now caches data for 24 hours.
    • We're downloading directly into our dataframe from Google Docs.
    • Google Docs serves as a sort of database, eliminating the need for a physical CSV file.
