Django clustering - How to manage Image uploading

[Gabriele Morgante]

Hi,

I developed a Django 1.8.4 webapp and now I've to deploy it in production environment. The app allows users to upload images on the server. My problem is that in a production environment I've many servers with django deployed and a load balancer. Than, how can I manage Image uploading in a clustered production environment? Is there a best practice?

Thanks.

I would use something like Amazon S3 to store the images. I think that's the easiest way to do it. If you use the django-storages plugin, you can configure your servers to talk to S3 just like they were using local storage. You will never have any problems with diskspace and all of your servers will be able to get the information regardless of which server has uploaded it.

Regards,

Andréas

You upload all your images into s3.

Or set up an NFS share if you don't want to rely on third party services
