[FEATURE] Set up a development environment with Flask and MongoDB on an EC2 instance

[SeungjaeLim]

Description

I would like to set up a development environment with Flask and MongoDB on an EC2 instance for our project.

Motivation

Setting up a development environment with Flask and MongoDB on an EC2 instance allows for easy deployment and testing of our web application. By utilizing Flask, a lightweight and flexible web framework, we can rapidly develop and iterate on our application's features. MongoDB, being a NoSQL database, provides a scalable and flexible data storage solution. By setting up this environment on EC2, we can ensure that our development environment closely resembles our production environment and easily deploy our application when ready.

Proposed Solution

To set up the development environment with Flask and MongoDB on EC2, we can follow these steps:

1. Launch an EC2 instance with the desired specifications, such as instance type, operating system, and security groups.
2. Connect to the EC2 instance using SSH or remote desktop.
3. Install Python and pip on the EC2 instance to support Flask development.
4. Set up a virtual environment on the EC2 instance using a tool like virtualenv or conda to isolate project dependencies.
5. Activate the virtual environment to ensure the correct Python interpreter and packages are used.
6. Use pip to install Flask and any additional Flask extensions or packages required for our project.
7. Install MongoDB on the EC2 instance, either by downloading and installing it manually or using a package manager.
8. Configure the MongoDB connection by providing the necessary details, such as the database URL and credentials.
9. Create a basic Flask application structure on the EC2 instance with the required files and directories.
10. Configure Flask to use the MongoDB database for data storage, either by using an ORM or directly interacting with the database.
11. Develop and test our application on the EC2 instance, utilizing the Flask development server and the MongoDB database.

Additional Context

If available, please provide any additional context, such as specific project requirements, preferred versions of Flask and MongoDB, or any relevant screenshots/mockups that could aid in setting up the development environment on EC2.
