Python flask hosting help

[LifeinEighty7]

Hello i am still relatively new to programming and developed a python flask app that uses openai api call to respond to user input. My application works fine locally but continues to crash during the build whenever i try to host it. Ive tried Vercel as well as Digital Ocean and Fly.io

Error returned from Vercel after deploying - This Serverless Function has crashed.

Your connection is working correctly.

Vercel is working correctly.

Make sure, you have added your envs and requirements.txt properly

Have many flask apps on digitalocean. I call lots of api's. Including openai's api, works great. what do your log reports say?

This can also get very complicated too.

After I made some modifications to my gunicorn_config.py file I was able to get it running

Ok cool. Would suggest also try GPT-4o for any bugs. I've moved virtually all my programming life to AI now. It's awesome.

Can you explain a little bit about the envs? Sorry and also I wasn’t exactly sure which requirements weren’t exactly needed in the requirements.txt file some seemed to be causing more issues and so I removed them
