those tools are of no use if you can't easily deploy your sites. Since Django's

inception, ease of deployment has been a major goal.

|
|
+There are many options for deploying your Django application, based on your
|
|
|
+architecture or your particular business needs, but that discussion is outside
|
|
|
+the scope of what Django can give you as guidance.
|
|

|
-ASGI is the new, asynchronous-friendly standard that will allow your Django
|
|
|
-site to use asynchronous Python features, and asynchronous Django features as
|
|
|
-they are developed.
|
|
|
+Django, being a web framework, needs a web server in order to operate. And
|
|
|
+since most web servers don't natively speak Python, we need an interface to
|
|
|
+make that communication happen.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Django currently supports two interfaces: WSGI and ASGI.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* `WSGI`_ is the main Python standard for communicating between Web servers and
|
|
|
+ applications, but it only supports synchronous code.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* `ASGI`_ is the new, asynchronous-friendly standard that will allow your
|
|
|
+ Django site to use asynchronous Python features, and asynchronous Django
|
|
|
+ features as they are developed.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+You should also consider how you will handle :doc:`static files
|
|
|
+</howto/static-files/deployment>` for your application, and how to handle
|
|
|
+:doc:`error reporting</howto/error-reporting>`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Finally, before you deploy your application to production, you should run
|
|
|
+through our :doc:`deployment checklist<checklist>` to ensure that your
|
|
|
+configurations are suitable.
