  3. update static, if needed
  4. start web server

    • your responsibility: django app, data
    • managed for you: web server, os, hardware, storage, networking
    • e.g., Heroku
  • Infrastructure as a Service
    • your responsibility: django app, data, web server os
    • managed for you: hardware, storage, networking
    • e.g., AWS

2. Connect to a database

• No opinion?
  • Use postgres
• Database hosting
  • DBaaS
    • your responsibility:
    • django's responsibility: migrations
    • managed for you: storage, backups, persistence, maintenance
