Additional benefits of web application deployment
Here are some additional benefits of web application deployment:
- Increased scalability: You can easily handle increased traffic by deploying your web application to a scalable infrastructure. This is important for businesses that experience spikes in traffic, such as during sales or marketing campaigns.
- Reduced costs: By automating the deployment process, you can reduce the time and resources required to deploy your web application. This can save you money in the long run.
- Improved agility: With a repeatable and automated deployment process, you can quickly and easily deploy new features and bug fixes to your web application. This gives you the agility to respond to changing customer needs.
Overall, web application deployment is a key part of the development process. So, is there a way to ease the adoption of all these best practices?
We are very lucky since Streamlit Share adopts the best practices we mentioned, by definition, so we can ensure we deploy our web application in the best possible way.
Having a service that adopts all these best practices is a big advantage for us since we can exclusively focus on the real business logic of our web apps. Our main task will be coding and making our web applications work properly, satisfying and achieving all the needs and results we want, all while being sure that the deployment and how it’s shared is something perfect that we don’t have to care too much about.
In the next section, we’ll learn about Streamlit Share and Streamlit Cloud.
What are Streamlit Share and Streamlit Cloud?
Streamlit Share is a free service that allows you to deploy your Streamlit apps to the web with just a few clicks. Once you have created your Streamlit app, you can share it on Streamlit Share by clicking the Share button in the Streamlit app. This will create a unique URL for your app that you can share with anyone.
Streamlit Cloud is a service that allows you to deploy one private app and unlimited public apps, thus offering more features and flexibility than Streamlit Share. With Streamlit Cloud, you can deploy your Streamlit apps to a scalable infrastructure, add custom domains, and integrate with other services.

To close this section, let’s underline the importance of deployment once more. This is the easiest way to make our web apps available to anyone. Streamlit offers its own cloud service that is very easy to manage. Besides the app code, the only thing we need is a GitHub repository.
