Deployment

Deployment of a Mezzanine site to production is mostly identical to deploying a regular Django site. For serving static content, Mezzanine makes full use of Django’s staticfiles app. For more information, see the Django docs for deployment and staticfiles.

Mezzanine’s only customization to the deployment process is adding built-in support for a local_settings.py file. This file is not kept under version control and you can use it to include production-only configuration.

Changed in version 5.0: Previously Mezzanine used to ship a fabfile for automatic deployments. It has been removed in favor of regular Django deployment methods.
