About This Talk
In this talk we will discuss:
-
runserver
, and why it should not be run in production - what options are out there for deploying your Django application, and why managed platforms are useful
- database options, and why PostgreSQL is the best choice
- introductory system administration for Django developers
among more base concepts on the wonderful world of deployments!
Attendees will come away with a more complete understanding as to why deployments are complex, and clarity on why some time-honoured suggestions really are the best decisions to get on with the rest of your day.
