Hi Whether your database should live on a separate server or not is a question you can best answer by testing various configurations out depending on the load your app expects. As for the webserver, you can (and probably should) do away with Apache, and try GUnicorn, which is a great WSGI webserver that supports Django out-of-the-box. We also use Nginx as a reverse proxy to GUnicorn so that load balancing and static files seving happens at Nginx level. Though this is not exactly for production, you can get an idea of what I'm talking about by reading this post [DISCLAIMER: I'm the author!] http://ydevel.tumblr.com/post/22850778860/configuring-an-https-site-with-django-on-nginx
We have a DB intensive operations going on anytime, so we typically host MongoDB on a server by itself, which is the generally preferred way.
