Deploy Django in 60 Seconds

Django is the batteries-included Python web framework. Deploy your Django project with one command — no WSGI plumbing, no collectstatic headaches, no server config.

Deploy Django Starting at $3/mo

The usual way to deploy Django

Configuring Gunicorn or Daphne (for async) with the correct wsgi.py or asgi.py path and worker count
Running collectstatic in the deploy pipeline and configuring nginx to serve /static/ and /media/ separately
Managing ALLOWED_HOSTS, SECRET_KEY, DEBUG=False, and database URLs across environments without leaking secrets
Setting up database migrations in the deployment flow — running migrate before the new code starts serving traffic
Handling the CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS, SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER, and X-Forwarded-Proto settings behind a reverse proxy

Django handles everything in code, but going from manage.py runserver to production is a multi-hour ordeal.

Or just run one command

$ instapods deploy my-django-app --preset python

→ Uploading files...

→ Installing dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt)...

→ Running collectstatic...

→ Running migrations...

→ Starting with gunicorn myproject.wsgi...

Django deployment notes

Settings for Production

Set ALLOWED_HOSTS to include your .instapods.app domain. InstaPods injects env vars for SECRET_KEY, DEBUG, and DATABASE_URL so you don't hardcode secrets.

Database

SQLite works for small projects. For PostgreSQL, use an external managed database and set DATABASE_URL via environment variables in the InstaPods dashboard.

Static & Media Files

InstaPods runs collectstatic during deploy. Static files are served via the reverse proxy. For user uploads, configure MEDIA_ROOT to a persistent path.
