Stack detection
Deployxa reads your repository and picks the runtime, build and start commands. Override any of them in project settings.
Deploy Django on Deployxa.
Deploy Django with Gunicorn, collectstatic, database migrations, managed PostgreSQL and HTTPS.

01 / Quickstart
Deploy from your terminal.
Install the CLI and deploy the Django project in your current directory, or connect the repository in the console for push-to-deploy.
- Typical database: PostgreSQL
- Build and start commands can be overridden
- Secrets stay out of build logs
$ npm install -g @deployxa/cli$ deployxa login$ deployxa deploy
02 / Guide
How Django goes to production.
- 01 /
Connect the repository
Deployxa finds manage.py and sets up the Python runtime.
- 02 /
Collect and migrate
collectstatic gathers assets and migrate updates the schema before release.
- 03 /
Serve
Gunicorn runs the WSGI app behind HTTPS.
03 / Configuration
Environment variables.
Set these in project settings. Values are never written to build logs.
| Variable | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE | Settings module | config.settings.production |
SECRET_KEY | Django signing key | ... |
DATABASE_URL | PostgreSQL connection URL | postgresql://... |
04 / Included
What every deploy gets.
Isolated builds
Every push builds in its own sandbox with cached dependencies and layers.
Managed databases
Attach PostgreSQL, MySQL or Redis and the connection details are injected as environment variables.
HTTPS by default
Every deploy gets a deployxa.online URL with a Let's Encrypt certificate; custom domains too.
Health-checked releases
Traffic only switches to a release that passes its health check, and earlier releases stay available for rollback.
Push to deploy
Connect GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and each push to your branch ships a new release.
05 / FAQ
Django questions.
How are static and media files served?
Serve static files with WhiteNoise after collectstatic. Keep user uploads on a persistent volume or S3-compatible storage.
