From Tutorial to Production: A Complete DevOps Pipeline Most web framework tutorials end at "Hello World," but real applications need so much more. I've open-sourced a comprehensive Django project template that demonstrates DevOps best practices - from reproducible development environments to Kubernetes deployments. Key highlights: • Nix + devenv for "works on my machine" → "works everywhere" • Lightning-fast Docker builds with modern dependency management • SOPS encryption for secure secrets management • Complete Kubernetes deployment with Helm charts • Advanced CI/CD with reusable GitHub Actions workflows Real impact from client implementations: ✓ 15x faster deployments (hours → minutes) ✓ 80% reduction in developer onboarding time ✓ 60% fewer production incidents ✓ 90% fewer environment-related support tickets While this example uses Python/Django, the patterns apply to any modern web framework. The same techniques have proven successful with Node.js, Go, Ruby, Haskell, Java and other stacks. I have a Next.js example in the works and will be sharing soon. Perfect for teams struggling with deployment complexity, cloud migrations, or scaling developer productivity. 🔗 Full project: hellok8s-django.deni.cloud/ Available for consulting on DevOps transformation, cloud-native architecture, and team scaling.
