Deploying Flask App with MySQL database

I'm having trouble deploying my Flask app with MySQL database. My app runs perfectly when I host it locally. Through Azure I'm able to successfully deploy my MySQL database by itself. I also was able to deploy a basic Flask app displaying a single HTML page. But I can't figure out how to connect the two. Can someone point me in the right direction? I couldn't find any tutorials online except one for PostgreSQL with Flask which hasn't been very useful. Thank you!

    Thanks for reaching here! If I have understood right you have deployed Azure Database for MySQL and wants to connect to flask app, If so then you can use below solution:

    Solution 1 - Allow Azure services
    Solution 2 - Create a firewall rule to explicitly allow outbound IPs

    Let us know.
