使用Flask Android和网站进行部署的最佳方法

Question

I have 2 flask applications one for site and one for android.The first application rendering templates and the second return json on every request.I am about to deploy and i am wondering what's the best option.I 've made a little research and i have some options:

1. deploy 2 apps in different servers

2. deploy 2 apps in same server in different virtual enviroments

3. convert 2 apps in one and deploy them using blueprints.

I think that the first option is the worst.So i don't know if it's better idea to have 2 apps running in the same server with a domain and a subdomain like myapp.com and android.myapp.com or convert the into one and deploy it as it is. I am using blueprints and i try to find something like blueprints of blueprints so i can use a main blueprint "site" with it's children blueprints and a second blueprint "android" with it's children blueprints but i didn't find something. I need a little help because it's the first time i am deploying and i am a little confusing.Thank you!

There are a few ways to go around this:

1. Move all your APIs to some other route, say /mobile/<route> and modify your android application to follow the /mobile API.

2. Get the user-agent from the request headers and then return your response accordingly :

    from flask import request request.headers.get('User-Agent') 

Alternatively, use the request.user_agents string to get more information about the device which is requesting the data.

Personally, I would recommend using the /mobile route for deploying it. But it is really up to you.
