http://www.djangy.com - in private beta, by wednesday we're hoping to invite several hundred more users.

Having had a quick browse it looks like Heroku for Django, which would be absolutely awesome!

Are you using EC2 behind the scenes, or something else?

You mention database support, but I couldn't see anything about specific vendors. Will there be support for spatial extensions? I'm specifically thinking about Postgres and PostGIS.

Looks like a great project though - I've signed myself up for a beta invite!


Thanks, we've been getting GREAT feedback and iterating rapidly.

Yes, we're using EC2 on the backend, and it's distributed and scalable. We currently give each app a MySQL database, but we've been getting a ton of requests for other database support, so it's something we're looking into. Unfortunately there are quite a few other requirements to plow through before we get to that particular feature.

Look for updates this week.


Is this the project that was on HN a while ago asking who was interested?

If I remember correctly people were giving the OP a hard time about using sqlite and not turning off debugging in a live environment. This project looks awesome and I'd really love an invite to the beta.


Yes it is the same project, I just looked it up. I was curious about this myself because I remembered being excited before the debug issue came up. Looking back at the thread, he owned up to it and assured that the actual project doesn't make such mistakes. The site does look a lot nicer than I recall, so I'm going to check it out.

The site looked pretty pathetic when they first had it up. It's beautiful now and this sounds like it's going to be pretty legit. I'm very excited.
