One Thousand and One Django Sites with Vince Salvino
summary
Platform now hosts over 1,000 Django and Wagtail sites using a product called Cod Red Cloud launched in 2020, with a single universal Docker image mounted as a shared Python environment and an agent that manages containers across servers. Deployments complete in a 30-second deploy that runs migrations, certs, DNS and backups. Bot traffic drops after a sentinel middleware in the reverse proxy, and fraud screening uses MinFraud. Persistent risks include code injection from malicious pip packages; the platform’s automations and monitoring largely contain incidents.
