How do I deploy a Django app to production?

To deploy a Django app, you can use platforms like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean. Do you have a specific platform in mind?

I'm considering using Heroku. What are the steps?

First, ensure your app is ready for production. Then, create a Heroku account, install the Heroku CLI, and run heroku create to set up your app.

What about the database? How do I set that up?

You can use Heroku Postgres. Add it to your app with heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev, then configure your settings.py to connect to it.

Do I need to handle static files?

Yes, you should use WhiteNoise to serve static files in production. Install it and add it to your middleware in settings.py.
