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.

Connect Your Repo on Kuberns

Go to Kuberns and log into the dashboard.

• Click “Connect GitHub Repository”
• Select the Django repo you pushed earlier
• Kuberns automatically detects your framework and sets up your environment

Deploy your Django app now → Start with Kuberns

Set Up Environment Variables

From the Kuberns dashboard:

• Add DJANGO_SECRET_KEY
• Set DEBUG=False
• Set ALLOWED_HOSTS=your-kuberns-app-url
• Add database variables if needed

Kuberns keeps these settings secure and editable without code changes.

Click Deploy

Once everything is ready, click “Deploy.”

Kuberns will:

• Build your app automatically
• Manage static files and database setup
• Make it live in minutes

You’ll see real-time build logs and get notified when your app is live.

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.
