What features should all flask apps have?

[u/Status-Fold-6860]

I've been programming for about a year and a half now and built a small flask app to manage my music business. Basically a management application with some API integration and sqlalchemy. The app now works fine and is stable, but I'm wondering if there are any features/functions/etc. that all flask apps should have implemented, that don't seem obvious to a beginner like me. Cybersecurity and complex algorhithms still go a bit beyond my understanding, but I wanna make my app as secure, stable and reliable as possible.

Blueprints and wraps. They’re kinda basic idk if it’s something everyone uses or not.

Protected content is what I’ve used them for.

Im using wraps for login required and admin required pages. Any further implementations I could utilize to make the project more managable?

This seems to be the more up-to-date fork: https://github.com/wntrblm/flask-talisman

(I don't use this package myself, but comments in the issues of the GCP package indicate this is the maintained version)

is this is a "one and done" type of protection or is any maintenance and integration into the app required?

How are you serving it? Is it using app.run() or is it being served by a "real" server?

I'm using app.run() on a remote computer with ubuntu via ssh

Gunicorn is super easy to set up: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/deploying/gunicorn/

Flask site mapper extension is handy
