About Lesson

Deployment involves transitioning your application from a development environment to a production-ready state.

Key Differences Between Development and Production

Debugging Mode:
- In development: DEBUG = True (enables detailed error pages).
- In production: DEBUG = False (hides sensitive information).
Allowed Hosts:
- Restrict which domains can access your application using the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting.
```
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['example.com', 'www.example.com']
```
Static and Media Files:
- Use collectstatic to prepare static files for serving in production.
- Store media files securely.
Secure Dependencies:
- Use a requirements.txt or poetry.lock file to define dependencies.
- Update regularly to patch vulnerabilities.
