Ask HN: Am I ready for production?

1 points by wopwopwop ↗ HN
I've built many webapps over the years. I've just finished MVP of yet another one but it seems this time I might be able to actually sell it as a service.

Historically I've been good at writing tight logic. However in terms of infrastructure I have no idea what I'm doing. I have nginx -> uwsgi -> Django app, but I only really understand my Django webapp. The rest is a mystery to me.

What steps should I take to make sure that nothing breaks outside of the webapp logic? (Consider low volumes (say up to 10k hits per day), that's not the issue here).

Pay somebody to do it. Not a joke - your setup seems like a reasonable match for plenty of PaaS offerings. You'll get way more ROI from working on your product than fiddling with reverse-proxy settings etc.
Any clue if AWS offers some sort of PaaS?
