Simple steps to deploy your Django app in just 10 minutes
Prepare Your Django App
Start by making sure your Django project is ready for deployment:
- Set DEBUG = False in your settings.py
- Run:
This ensures your app is secure and stable for production.
Push Your Code to GitHub
If your code isn’t already on GitHub:
Kuberns connects directly to your GitHub repo for fast deployments.

Challenges Django developers face and how kuberns helps?
Too many steps and tools to learn
Many developers get stuck juggling multiple tools like configuring web servers, setting up databases, and managing secrets. It takes time to learn, test, and debug all of these.
Kuberns takes care of these steps behind the scenes. It auto-detects your Django app, sets up environments, and manages your deployment without needing you to write extra scripts or configurations.
Deployment errors and broken environments
You finally get your app live, but something breaks in production. Logs are unclear, errors are vague, and debugging feels like guesswork.
But with Kuberns dashboard, you get real-time build logs and one-click redeploys, you always know what’s happening. If something fails, you get a clean error log and can roll back or fix it quickly.
Manual updates and no version tracking
Changing even one environment variable means SSH-ing into a server or editing files directly. There’s no way to track what changed or why.
With Kuberns, you can update environment variables securely from the dashboard without touching the codebase. Every deploy is tracked, so you know what changed and when.
Scaling is unclear
Most beginner deployments work… until your app grows. Suddenly, you need to think about performance, uptime, and cost.
Kuberns optimises your app behind the scenes. Whether it’s scaling your app across containers or optimising how your app runs to reduce costs, it’s all handled for you.
Hosting and infrastructure setup are confusing
Where should you host? What’s the best way to configure databases, static files, and app servers?
You don’t need to make those choices. Kuberns provisions the infrastructure, sets up databases, and makes sure your app is running on secure and optimised AWS resources.
