Deploying a Production ready Django app on AWS

Deploying a Production ready Django app on AWS

In this tutorial, I will be going over to how to deploy a Django app from start to finish using AWS and EC2. Recently, my partner Tu and I launched our app Hygge Homes (a vacation home rental app for searching and booking vacation homes based off Airbnb) and we wanted to share with other developers some of the lessons we learned along the way.

Following this tutorial, you will have an application that has:

  • An AWS EC2 server configured to host your application
  • SSL-certification with Certbot
  • A custom domain name
  • Continuous deployment with Github Actions/SSM Agent

How to recover from messed up python installation on mac, and never have to mess with apple's python confusion factory

I am assuming you are here because like me, you installed a bazillion different python interpreters on mac and the whole thing is a spagetti. Today, I finally fixed my python installation. Whatever I install for python2 or python3 using pip JUST.WORKS.. My god! finally.

What the hell?

Here is what I had messed up, which you also probably did:

  • I had too many different python interpreters
  • Too many different symlinks which I lost track of
  • almost no package I installed with pip worked without a headache
  • any attempt to fix using online resources made it worse.
