## What it is
A boilerplate project showing how to dockerize a Django application with Postgres, Gunicorn, and Nginx using Docker Compose. It accompanies a testdriven.io tutorial and provides separate development and production configurations.

## Use cases
- dockerize a django app with postgres
- set up django with gunicorn and nginx in docker
- django docker compose starter template
- learn containerizing django for production
- dev and prod docker setup for django

## When to choose
- starting a new Django project you want to run in Docker
- learning how Django, Postgres, Gunicorn, and Nginx fit together in containers
- needing a simple dev/prod Docker Compose setup for Django

## When to avoid
- you need a full production platform with CI/CD, scaling, and monitoring built in
- your stack is not Django or you use a different database
- you want an actively developed framework rather than a reference template

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, container-runtime, http-server, deployment
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: django, docker-compose, gunicorn, nginx, postgres, boilerplate, tutorial, boilerplate, devops, containers, docker, linux
