Running Rendón Burgers in production requires two changes from the default development setup: replacing the Flask development server with Gunicorn, and securing the MongoDB Atlas connection string using environment variables instead of hardcoding it in source code.

​
Running with Gunicorn

Gunicorn is the recommended WSGI server for running Flask applications in production. It is already included in requirements.txt. Start the server with multiple workers and bind it to all interfaces: 
gunicorn app:app -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8000
  • -w 4 — Spawns four worker processes. A common starting point is (2 × CPU cores) + 1.
  • -b 0.0.0.0:8000 — Binds the server to port 8000 on all network interfaces, making it accessible from outside the host machine.
Set debug=True to False in app.py before running in production. The Flask development server’s debug mode exposes an interactive debugger that must never be accessible in a production environment.

​
MongoDB Atlas connection

The application connects to MongoDB Atlas using a mongodb+srv:// URI. The URI format is: 
mongodb+srv://<user>:<password>@<cluster>/<dbname>?appName=<app>
For this application, the database name is rendon_burger_db. The three collections used are:
CollectionPurpose
pedidos_activosActive orders in progress
historial_ventasCompleted order history
inventario_stockItem availability flags
Never hardcode your Atlas credentials directly in app.py. If the file is committed to version control, the credentials will be exposed in the repository history. Use environment variables instead.
Read the connection URI from the environment at runtime: 
import os
MONGO_URI = os.environ.get("MONGO_URI")
Set the variable in your deployment environment before starting the server: 
export MONGO_URI="mongodb+srv://<user>:<password>@<cluster>/rendon_burger_db?appName=<app>"
gunicorn app:app -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8000
On managed platforms (Railway, Render, Heroku, etc.), set MONGO_URI as a secret environment variable in the platform’s dashboard rather than in a shell script.

​
Views and their URLs

Once the server is running, the three application views are available at:
URLViewAudience
/Customer menuCustomers placing orders
/cocinaKitchen dashboardKitchen staff managing the order queue
/reporteSales reportManagement reviewing daily sales data
These routes are defined in app.py and do not require any additional configuration to function in production.
