mod_wsgi deployment up and running!
It took a lot longer than planned but I know have the mod_wsgi deployment up and running and the performance is fantastic. Even during the busy evening the site was just lightening fast.
The server load is a little bit high so I guess that I’ll need to something when the traffic doubles but that will be a few months away at least.
I’m still not even thinking about a new server though; the next step will be to work out some sort of cache strategy. But for now I can forget about performance and start thinking about features and marketing again.
