+1 I'm maintaining three such sites (my wife's, my consultancy's and mine). I'm clearly not going to bother configuring a CDN. I deployed them with whitenoise — which isn't nearly as well known as it should be. If I hadn't known about it, I suspect I would have rolled a poor man's solution to serve static files in Python, because that's the easiest when deploying to a PaaS. Regarding the question of media files raised earlier in this thread, I think we shouldn't attempt to cache all existing files on start-up because even small sites could easily have tens of thousands e.g. a forum that stores users' avatars. We should look up the file at each query, which will be slightly less efficient, but functional and not subject to scalability issues. For both static and media files, we care about simplicity and security. It appears that whitenoise gives us great performance for static files as well, which is good. If we can't have it for media files, it's still fine. -- Aymeric. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
