- ===============
- Deploying Oscar
- ===============
-
- Oscar is a just a set of Django apps - it doesn't have any special deployment
- requirements. That means the excellent Django docs for `deployment`_
- should be your first stop. This page then only distills some of the experience
- gained from running Oscar projects.
-
- Performance
- -----------
-
- Setting up caching is crucial for a good performance. Oscar's templates are
- split into many partials, hence it is recommended to use the
- `cached template loader`_. Sorl also will hit your database hard if you run it
- without a cache backend.
-
- If your memory constraints are tight and you can only run one Python worker,
- LocMemCache will usually outperform external cache backends due to the lower
- overhead. But once you can scale beyond one worker, it might make good sense to
- switch to something like memcached or redis.
-
- Blocking in views should be avoided if possible. That is especially true for
- external API calls and sending emails. Django's pluggable email backends allow
- for switching out the blocking SMTP backend to a custom non-blocking solution.
- Possible options are storing emails in a database or cache for later consumption
- or triggering an external worker, e.g. via `django-celery`_.
- `django_post-office`_ works nicely.
-
- For backwards-compatibility reasons, Django doesn't enable database connection
- pooling by default. Performance is likely to improve when enabled.
-
- Security
- --------
-
- Oscar relies on the Django framework for security measures and therefore no
- Oscar specific configurations with regard to security are in place. See
- `Django's guidelines for security`_ for more information.
-
- `django-secure`_ is a nice app that comes with a few sanity checks for
- deployments behind SSL.
-
- Search Engine Optimisation
- --------------------------
-
- A basic example of what a sitemap for Oscar could look like has been added
- to the sandbox site. Have a look at ``sandbox/urls.py`` for inspiration.
