Serving static files on heroku

Question

I'm writing a Python app for heroku. Flask is used for the web component of the app.

My problem is that I can't find a way to serve static files. I don't want to do it through flask because that is very inefficient.

I'm also using gunicorn. How would I set up serving of static files?

Try using Amazon s3 for storing static and media files. A similar question and answer can be found here . Here is heroku's documentation of using s3. Then you might want to disable automatic collectstatic instructions here so collectstatic isn't run every time you push to heroku. Hope this helps.
