This is a project template that provides a production-ready reference implementation for commonly used features:
- Reverse-proxy with automatic HTTPS encryption via LetsEncrypt
If you follow my blog then you will know that I am a big believer in Django and a supporting ecosystem around that framework.
Principles
- 12-factor ready
- Simplicity, with a path forward for scaling the parts you need.
- Single developer friendly
- Single machine friendly
- Optimize for developer speed
Docker
- building and running locally
- building and running remotely
- pushing to private repo
- docker-compose local
- docker-compose production
- with docker labels
Django
- my patterns for config/ folder
- pickup environment vars from
.envinsettings.pyfile - support libraries (see blog)
Minimal Javascript (because I dont like it)
- This is a personal thing.
Traefik configuration for the reverse proxy Extras
- Twilio
- sentry
- Sendgrid
- Makefiles for CLI Productivity
- how I like to setup pycharm for local debugging
Other blueprints/cookie-cutters
- mention cookie cutter
- pydanny
- does awesome cookie-cutter exist?
Future considerations:
- include a risk assessment for ISO 27001 / 27005 level applications
- include ansible / cloud-init scripts for standing up the hosting server
Video / instructions on how to setup pycharms with screenshots
Patterns
- Skip celery. Use a database and django commands as reliable, robust, and easily understood workers
- their work would be idempotent, which means that repeat processes will not break things
