dsd-upsun is a plugin for deploying Django projects to Upsun (formerly Platform.sh), using django-simple-deploy.
This is an officially supported plugin, so the full documentation for dsd-upsun is included in the django-simple-deploy docs. The Quick Start page for Upsun is here.
The home page for the Upsun docs is a good starting point, but it can be hard to know where to look for Django-specific information. Here are some helpful links to be aware of, whether you're deploying a project to Upsun or helping maintain this plugin.
Upsun has two approaches to deployment: Fixed and Flex. With a Fixed plan, you specify the size of the resources you want to use for your project. When your project grows, you'll need to upgrade to a higher Fixed plan. With a Flex plan, you can select from a wider variety of specific resource sizes. When your project grows you can scale individual resources yourself, or you can let Upsun scale resources for you.
Currently, dsd-upsun only supports Fixed deployments. The roadmap includes a plan to add support for both Fixed and Flex deployments.
The main documentation page for Fixed deployments is here. Other relevant pages include:
- Fixed philosophy
- Python on Upsun Fixed
- Django on Upsun Fixed
- Deploy Django on Upsun Fixed
- Django configuration
- Configure Django for Upsun Fixed
The main page for Flex deployments is here. Other relevant pages include:
