This talk, presented by Benjamin "Zags" Zagorsky, co-founder and CTO of Zagaran, Inc., draws from a decade of experience deploying and maintaining Django websites. It covers key issues for creating a robust and secure Django deployment, focusing on AWS as a hosting platform but with techniques applicable to any major cloud provider. Topics include application hosting, resilience to server failures, automating deployment, secrets management, file storage, error monitoring, and server maintenance.
