Hosting and DevOps for Django with Benjamin "Zags" Zagorsky

Production server infrastructure is a complicated beast that requires configuring and coordinating dozens of tools and services. You have a new Django application and you're ready to deploy it; what next? You have an existing Django application and you set up the servers yourself; what can you do better?

I’m the co-founder CTO of https://zagaran.com">Zagaran, Inc., a software consulting company. Over the past 10 years, we’ve built, maintained, and deployed dozens of Django websites, and have an extensive playbook for how to do that well. In this talk, we'll draw from that playbook and go through the main issues for a creating a robust and secure Django deployment. For each issue, we'll look at the technologies and techniques to solve it. We'll focus on AWS as a hosting platform, but the techniques at play will work on any major cloud provider. This talk will cover the following: * Application hosting * Resilience to server failures * Automating deployment * Secrets management * File storage * Error monitoring * Server maintenance * (and more!)
