summary

Multiple companies describe switching from PHP to Django to rebuild news, social and gaming sites (Decider, Pownce, GiantBomb, ComicVine, Discuss) and internal apps (Free Software Directory, shop.fsf.org, Ellington CMS), deploying with Capistrano, SVN-backed templates and staging servers. Teams range from solo launches to ~15 developers; one org runs ~40 systems with ~3–4 million hits/day. Work yields ~300 automated tests and a buildbot, but pain points remain: migrations, object caching, streaming large uploads, and ad hoc use of Capistrano + SVN templates.
