Deploying Django to Production

This post provides guidance on how to make a simple Django application production-ready and deploy it to Fly.io. The author walks through the process of setting up the local Django app for production, including using PostgreSQL as the database, managing environment variables with django-environ, handling static files with WhiteNoise, and ensuring security measures are in place. They then cover deploying the production-ready Django app to Fly.io using flyctl, a command-line utility provided by Fly.io. The author also discusses additional steps for deployment, such as setting up database migrations and updating settings.py with the dedicated subdomain chosen during deployment. Finally, they provide resources for further reading on deploying Django apps and encourage readers to share their experiences in the Fly.io Community.
