web-deployment

Hi, I've getting quite fast with a small django project of mine, which I'm developing locally, of course. But, as I had never worked with django before, I'm not aware of what it implies to upload it and test it on a production server. And I'm quite curious, since I'm very eager to test an early release live.

I know there is this document, which I think it'll be really helpful: http://djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter12/

But, are there any details I should take into account before, during and after the deployment? Any advice or best practices?

Thanks.
