Djangodriven site is slow

[Hooshyar Naraghi]

Hi Django users,

I am looking for a Django consultant with knowledge in nginx/Gunicorn/Ubuntu server administration skills. If I am in the wrong place, I apologize in advance. I appreciate if you refer me to a venue I could look for Django consultants for hire.

A brief description. A dedicated server 4 GB RAM, more than 50% unused hard drive. It runs ubuntu/nginx/Gunicorn. Django version is 1.4. Small DB in MYSQL 5.x. Largest table ~ 88,000 records. Other tables average 6,000 records. So, nothing special about DB.

The site went live in 2012 and it has been working fine with satisfactory response load time until 2 days ago when the pages are slow to render to the point we got 502 error. Optimized some paramters in Gunicorn and nginx. Restarted and was OK for a couple of hours, but chocked again.

I like to hire a consultant for a few hours to look into this and perhaps give me an answer and a course of action to take.

Please contact me via e-mail at hnar...@hanzinet.com and I will be happy to discuss details.

Regards,
Hoosh
