Overview

Tencent Cloud Django component uses Tencent Serverless Framework. Based on serverless services (such as COS) in the cloud, it can implement "zero" configuration, convenient development, and rapid deployment of your Django webpage applications.

Django features:

• "Zero" configuration: you only need to write project code and then deploy it, and the Serverless Framework will take care of all the configuration work.
• Pay-as-you-go billing: fees are charged based on the request usage, and you don't need to pay anything if there is no request.
• Fast deployment: you can deploy your entire webpage application in just a few seconds.
• Convenient collaboration: the development mode and in-cloud debugging are supported to facilitate team collaboration.
• Rich extensions: RESTful API services can be deployed.

Directions

1. Install Serverless CLI

Install the latest version of Serverless CLI through npm:

$ npm install -g serverless

2. Install project dependencies

Create a project by yourself and install the dependencies required by Python in the project directory. For example, Django is needed in this example, and you can run pip to install it:

pip install Django -t ./

3. Configure the .yml file

Create a serverless.yml file in the project root directory:

touch serverless.yml

Paste the following configuration template into the file to implement basic project configuration.

Note：

You can add more configuration items in serverless.yml based on your actual deployment needs. For more information on the configuration of the .yml file, please see Django Component Configuration.

#serverless.yml
component: django
name: djangoDemo
app: appDemo
stage: dev

inputs:
  region: ap-guangzhou
  djangoProjectName: mydjangocomponent
  src: ./src
  functionConf:
    timeout: 10
    memorySize: 256
  apigatewayConf:
    protocols:
      - https
    environment: release

4. Deploy the application

Deploy by running the sls deploy command, and you can add the --debug parameter to view the information during the deployment process:

sls deploy --debug

After the deployment is completed, access the application by accessing the output API Gateway link.

Account configuration (optional)

Currently, you can scan a QR code to log in to the CLI by default. If you want to configure persistent environment variables/key information, you can also create a local .env file:

$ touch .env # Tencent Cloud configuration information

Configure Tencent Cloud's SecretId and SecretKey information in the .env file and save it:

# .env
TENCENT_SECRET_ID=123
TENCENT_SECRET_KEY=123

Note：

• If you don't have a Tencent Cloud account yet, please sign up first.
• If you already have a Tencent Cloud account, you can get SecretId and SecretKey in API Key Management.
