For development, we host the project on some small server. It is running via ./manage.py runserver just for our customer to be able to see what’s going on. Also, this enables our designer to hack the project via SFTP without having to deploy the website locally.

Currently we are working with a new designer who found out that GitHub’s editor was pretty cool because it saves him from doing backups himself.

django-responsive-admin and django-suit are interesting new themes for Django admin.

Drupal is a CMS written in PHP which supports PostgreSQL. It is made for mod_php and Apache, thought it works with uWGSI and Nginx.

When you have tried uWGSI you know why you want this.

Example nginx configuration:

server {
    server_name drupal.example.com;
    root /srv/drupal/www/;

    error_log /tmp/nginx_drupal.log;

    index index.php index.html;

    location / { 
        try_files $uri @rewrite;
    }   

    location @rewrite {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1;
    }   

    location ~* files/styles {
        access_log off;
        expires 30d;
        try_files $uri @rewrite;
    }   

    location ~ .php$ {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_modifier1 14; 
        uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/uwsgi_drupal.sock;
    }   
}   

And an example uwsgi configuration:

Just stumbled on django-parting which provides a nice API to partition your data.

For those not familiar with data partitioning, I recommend reading partitionning on mysql.
