Automating initial deployments with django-simple-deploy with Eric Matthes
summary
Claims a Django-centric deploy command that runs manage.py deploy and automates initial deployments across platforms, demonstrably succeeding on Fly with a created Postgres DB and opened URL. Core provides utilities like add_file add_package commit and a plugin interface; plugins for Fly.io, platform.sh, Heroku and a 0.1 DSD-VPS exist. A plugin generator scaffolds new targets, there is a configuration-only mode for diffs, and the project is post-1.0 stable with Wagtail support and ongoing VPS work.
