Why do I need to redeploy my app to see new db records?

Hi, I’m building a website using Python. I’ve linked the Python server to the dev PostgreSQL provided by the app Platform on digital ocean. Everything is working fine, but when I add new records to the dev db I have to redeploy the app to see the new records appearing on the home page. I want the new records to be available without the need for redeploying the app.

This is how my python script looks like:

import psycopg
from urllib.parse import parse_qs

# Create a connection to the SQLite database
def add_post(post_data):
    parsed_data = parse_qs(post_data)
    con = psycopg.connect("MY CONNECTION STRINGS")
    cur = con.cursor()

    name = parsed_data.get('name', [''])[0]
    date = parsed_data.get('date', [''])[0]
    place = parsed_data.get('place', [''])[0]
    link = parsed_data.get('link', [''])[0]
    category = parsed_data.get('category', [''])[0]
    description = parsed_data.get('description', [''][0])

    cur.execute("insert into events (poster, category, date, place, media, description)VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", (name, category, date, place, link, description[0]))
    con.commit()
    con.close()
