Files in Django
summary
Covers the Django file API (fields, storage interface, collectstatic), the concrete tradeoffs of serving static vs media, and deployment choices: use whitenoise behind a CDN for static files or a reverse proxy like nginx, avoid runserver in production, and why serving user uploads from the app domain is risky. Walks through django-storages and S3 patterns, signed URLs and get_available_name for collisions, notes migrations-serialization pain, and demos an IPFS backend that actually runs but is intentionally insecure.
