Deploying Django with Gunicorn, PostgreSQL, and WhiteNoise on Lizard

Oh, nice @yuraoak. I think any part of your tutorial that references part of lizard should have a link to it. For example

Choose a database configuration that consumes your service’s connection values. Set a scoped Managed Postgres reference if you use that addon.

That does a food job of linking out to the variables. I’m not quite sure what’s meant by choosing a db configuration that consumes the services connection values though. Will a beginner understand that? I have not looked at Lizard so I’m not even a beginner.

Another small tweak suggestion:

Your settings must parse DATABASE_URL into Django’s DATABASES setting.

It’s probably worth giving them the code to read it from an environment variable or give them the library that will.

Lastly, have you considered creating a django-simple-deploy plugin? It’d be a way for you to automate a lot of this for your users that use Django.
