current point of view?

Hi,

you were some of the early adopters. What is your experience after five years?

Do you still recommend the text you wrote some years ago?

(This is an excellent question.)

Not at all, this is all way overkill for running a usual application.

How would you deploy a Django application today? How can one ensure reliability and uptime without using Kubernetes?

How can one ensure reliability and uptime without using Kubernetes?

I am using a VPS from a german provider. It is super reliable. AFAIK they use Linux KVM for providing me the service. But overall I don't care if they use KVM or VMWare. That's their business.

It is cheap and reliable. Works fine.

DB access is super fast, since I run the DB on the same VPS.

@hnarayanan how do you run your django applications?

@fronbasal how do you run your django applications?

Just basic raw VPS and systemd to run all my services, e.g. gunicorn and postgres. I use ansible to provision everything.
