Hey Mohamed Abdelaal! There are a bunch of different tutorials on youtube you can find based on where you are deploying your site. I also found a step-by-step walkthrough, Heroku: Deploy your Flask App with a Database Online which looks like if you are deploying to Heroku for example. See step 4 for linking up the database with a Heroku link. :)

Hopefully this helps! There are many resources online and on YouTube :D
