Scaling a Django project isn’t just about adding more servers,it’s about navigating unexpected failures, performance bottlenecks, deployment risks, infrastructure failures and the inevitable chaos that comes with growth.As a Service Delivery Manager, ensuring reliability while scaling requires not just technical expertise but also proactive planning, team coordination, and controlled experiments
In this talk, we'll cover real-world failures, chaos engineering principles, database optimizations, and proactive scaling strategies. We will explore the “how to break things before they break you” principle to scale Django applications efficiently. I will also highlight on the reality of scaling Django and why is inevitable, managing unpredictability in scaling, strategies for scaling Django without losing stability and lastly the service delivery’s role in chaos management.
