The website was mainly develop with Flask and Caddy, and hosting on Centos7 on Google Cloud Platform.
Data is scraping daily from Durham, Halton, Peel, Toronto, and York regions government website using RStudio.
Tableau is using for data visulation.
The backend Flask app needs the path of csv which store covid19 data to run, for esay furthur development, we place the path into the setting.py and export it as global environment 'SETTING' on the GCP CentOS instance.
export SETTING = /path/to/config/fileCurrently the setting.py only contain the path of covid19 dataset, it looks like this:
CSVFILE = "/path/to/csv/file.csv"- Implement Falsk RESTful
