Continuous Deployment for webapps based on Django

" summary

Claim: a Django candidate-management app moves features to production multiple times per day by automating merges, CI and deploy steps while keeping a manual tester clicks one deploy button gate. Implementation uses Git Jenkins Buildout Fabric uWSGI South, feature-branch PR testing, staging copies and DB backups. Surprising numbers: about 100 deploys with only ~5 breakages. Engineering fixes include per-instance uWSGI builds to avoid Apache/Jenkins restarts, a master FIFO to preserve PID handling, and version.txt to avoid South migration number conflicts; rollback is a scripted build-out restore.
