Deploy a music recommender on heroku

In this story I am going to deploy a restful API application that recommend musics based on favorite music, on heroku.

This recommender is a simple KNN content based recommender, that the songs information has been gathered from spotify.

This web application is going to be build with Fastapi and the whole application is build on minidev docker image.

About the project

This project is open source and it is deployed on heroku:

https://rec-music.herokuapp.com/docs

Music recommendation

The recommendation are all handling in here. It just simply calculate the neighborhood between songs and selected song, then it will be sorted. The art of this recommendation is the calculation of similarity; that was mostly based on try and error.

Restful API

The API is build with fastapi, and the implementation is here.

As simple as possible

Dockerfile

This application is build with docker and the docker file is here. Deploying a containerized application on heroku is the next topic to be explained.
