Use the Django Deployment Checklist before turning off Demo mode

Question

Django's deployment checklist lists a bunch of useful things to check before deploying to production. It would be worth going through the checklist before advertising the app.

Demo mode has already been turned off. But, going through the checklist and making recommended changes is important!

Secret Key set
Debug mode turned off
Allowed hosts
Databases
Caches
No emails
No static files
No uploads
No local media
python manage.py check --delpoy
Except for the HSTS setting, which seems like a risky thing to do if we move the app away from Heroku at some point. Leaving this turned off, for now.
