Building a database-driven website with the Django framework is just the beginning: once you've written your application, you have to put it into production. In this video workshop, you'll learn from two Django experts -- the framework's co-creator and lead developer -- what it takes to create a full Django deployment environment.

Jacob Kaplan-Moss and Frank Wiles show you how to you create an environment with multiple levels of caching and load balancing, multiple web application servers, and redundant replicated database servers. By the end of the video, you'll be familiar with several deployment technologies such as:

• Apache web server
• PostgreSQL database
• Fabric grid computing technology
• nginx web server and email proxy
• Memcached memory caching system
• PgPool for data replication and load balancing
