Objective

There cometh a day in lives of every Django developer when they wonder whether there was a way to reduce the time spent in altering the settings file before every deployment, be it on their staging / production servers. Well there is, and thats what this tutorial intends to address.

Salient Features:

  • Managing multiple settings file.

  • Automating the deployment process with Fabric.

  • Integrating above two with your source code management system

Save time deploying and spend it developing.

Description

The session can be broadly broken up into following phases:

-A short interactive introduction to Django just to get the audience revved up. A demo on what we would do for deployment when we don't have fabric at our disposal.

-A breif introduction to fabric and demonstration of magical deployment using it.

-A detailed introduction to the features of Fabric will come next after which we we shall have a discussion and dicover what we could accomplish using fabric.
