Can I deploy to the App Platform without a Dockerfile?

I have no dockerfile in my repo, and when I deploy to the AP I get the error: ! Invalid dockerfile_path, no such file exists in the git repository. I don’t want to deploy a Docker container, is that possible at all? How would I go about it?

I’m trying to deploy a FastAPI project, ideally with a Procfile or some other Python command
