Deploy Django

Deploy Django applications with Wodby’s managed Django stack. Start from a reusable application setup, keep environments consistent, and ship Python web apps, APIs, and background tasks without rebuilding the delivery platform around each project.

Start with a managed Django stack

Use a ready-to-run Django stack and boilerplate instead of assembling the runtime, supporting services, and deployment workflow from scratch.

Keep application services organized

Run Python web apps, APIs, and background tasks with clear service boundaries and environment configuration that stays consistent across deployments.

Use one workflow for delivery and operations

Keep CI/CD, routes, certificates, backups, and scaling controls in the same Wodby workflow.

Bring an existing application

Plan your Django migration with your agent

Give your coding agent access to your repository and connect Wodby through MCP. Ask it to map your app to maintained services and flag what needs to change before deploying.

Review the plan first, then approve an isolated staging deployment. Production data transfer and cutover need separate approval. MCP access does not itself grant access to your repository.

Django migration planning prompt
Use get_wodby_guidance to load the Wodby migration workflow. Inspect this Django application repository and propose a Wodby deployment plan. Identify the runtime, database, background jobs, persistent files, and required secret names without revealing values. List missing information and plan an isolated staging deployment. Do not create resources, transfer production data, change DNS, or deploy anything yet.

A modern deployment model for Django

Django teams benefit from repeatable builds, predictable environment configuration, and a clean way to operate application and supporting services together.

Wodby packages that model as a managed stack on Wodby Cloud, managed Kubernetes, or self-hosted Kubernetes, so teams can standardize delivery without maintaining a separate platform for every Django project.

A practical fit for Django workloads

  • Deploy Python web apps, APIs, and background tasks from a reusable stack and boilerplate.
  • Keep application, worker, database, and cache services separated where the stack needs them.
  • Use consistent configuration across development, staging, and production environments.
  • Reduce custom work around releases, routes, certificates, backups, and scaling.

What you get with Wodby

  • Managed Django stack for modern container-based deployments
  • Built-in CI/CD with image builds, deployment history, and rollback attempts
  • Controlled automatic updates for stack services, app environments, and infrastructure
  • Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
  • Managed routes, endpoints, and domain setup
  • App service controls for settings, resources, links, volumes, actions, and terminal access
  • Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model

How Django deployment works on Wodby

  1. 1

    Choose Wodby Cloud, managed Kubernetes, or a single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setup.

  2. 2

    Create a new app from the Django stack and its boilerplate, then connect your repository.

  3. 3

    Configure services, domains, environment variables, persistent volumes, and databases as needed.

  4. 4

    Deploy through the built-in CI/CD workflow and scale application or worker services when demand changes.

Suitable for Python product teams, API developers, and SaaS projects

This setup is designed for teams that want to ship Django applications with repeatable environments and less platform work around every project.

Wodby provides the managed Django stack and delivery workflow while preserving Kubernetes-based infrastructure choices as requirements grow.

Start deploying

Want to launch Django with less setup overhead?

Start with Wodby's managed Django stack, connect your repo, and handle deployments, environments, and operations in one place.

Stack-specific feature

Start from the Wodby Django boilerplate

The Django boilerplate provides a working project baseline for the managed stack, so teams can begin with repository structure and deployment wiring already in place.

Django, PostgreSQL, and Valkey are enabled by default, with database and Celery broker connections supplied through stack service links.

Hosting options

Choose the hosting model that fits your team

Run Wodby on your own managed Kubernetes, on a budget self-hosted Kubernetes server, or on fully managed Wodby Cloud.

Managed Kubernetes in your cloud account

Keep infrastructure in your own cloud account. Wodby provisions and manages the cluster setup through AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Azure, or another supported provider.

View managed Kubernetes

Kubernetes on your own server

Keep control of your dedicated server or VM. Wodby prepares a single-server Kubernetes setup and provides tools to deploy and manage your apps.

Explore self-hosted Kubernetes

Fully managed Wodby Cloud

Use Wodby Cloud when you want the cluster hosted by Wodby instead of in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Integrations

Keep third-party integrations organized and under control across all of your apps and environments

Connect services once and reuse them across your apps. Keep credentials out of repositories, manage configuration centrally, and override values for each environment.

Stack-specific feature

Celery workers and post-deploy tasks included

A Celery service runs the same application image as the web service, keeping asynchronous tasks separate without introducing another build.

Post-deploy actions run database migrations and collect static files, while the Django secret key is generated per app and debug mode is limited to development environments.

  • We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.

  • Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
