Deploy Rest API in Django

Question

I have made one Rest API in Django and now I have to deploy that in AWS. Any ideas to which AWS Service should be used? What will be the architecture? Any diagram?

Accepted Answer

Since Django handles auth, api throttling etc. on its own its usually deployed on EC2 instanced directly. So Elastic Bean Stalk would be the recommendation. You can deploy it on Lambda as well but you'll expose it using API gateway which conflicts with what Django Rest Framework does. So EC2 is the best bet deployed through Elastic Bean Stalk.

Answer

You can launch a Lightsail instance with Django pre-installed if that helps. As for what's best...depends on many factors including use-case, expected traffic, etc.
