Hosting and DevOps for Django
summary
Covers concrete hosting and deployment choices on AWS: recommends Elastic Beanstalk as the sensible default, explains managed container options via ECS/Fargate and multi‑cloud via EKS (Kubernetes), and shows how deployments use Docker images, EB deploy or cluster updates and run migrations safely. Advises managed RDS with RDS multi‑AZ replicas, S3 with versioning and encryption, Secrets Manager, Sentry for error tracking, CloudWatch metrics, Terraform for infra as code, CI/CD for zero‑click, and SSM instead of SSH.
