My WSGI apps are serving the static assets. So there is no difference in serving static assets between development and production.
I do use http://www.cloudvps.com/openstack/cdn-acceleration/, which is a CDN which gets the assets from my apps. So my app serve the static assets but only a small number of requests are actually served directly by the app. Note: minifying and bundling is not implement by bowerstatic yet. When bowerstatic can do that automatically in the near future, static assets are hassle free.
