You could still user Heroku or Openshift or PythonAnywhere. They are all great host with different levels of difficulty. PythonAnywhere is the easiest and a great new idea. I use openshift for my flask apps but intend to try PythonAnywhere soon.

You may need to store things using Amazons web services I am not sure but I think any of these three would work well for you.

Goodluck! --Ricky

Well, Instagram is owned by Facebook (now) so I bet they're on internal servers, not a product like AWS (I could be wrong. I should have asked when I was there last year). But, yes, AWS, Heroku, Python Anywhere, Digital Ocean, etc etc will all work for deploying Python apps.
