Django Channels compatibility with Google App/Compute Engine?

[Alex Z]

Hello! I'm really new here, and also relatively new to Django, and I've been researching different ways to incorporate real-time updates with Django without specifically using AJAX. I dug around and found out about Django Channels, and I'm learning the basics right now. What I'm trying to do is develop a card game app, and I wanted each player to be able to play a card on their computer, and it would show up for everyone else playing (on different computers) without refreshing the page. I think I can figure something out to accomplish this with Django Channels, but I have a different issue: is Django Channels easily compatible with Google App/Compute Engine? I want to deploy it using Google Compute Engine, but I couldn't find many resources on the topic or any that answered my questions. For example, how would I deploy my Django app with a specific channel layer (Redis, RabbitMQ, etc.)? What other precautions should I take before I deploy a Django project that uses Channels? Any input on this would be fantastic, even any information on deploying a Django project that uses Channels via Google Compute Engine. Thanks!

Hi Alex,

I don't have any specific advice for GCE - I'm not really sure what their special requirements are. You'll probably have to experiment and see if it's possible with what they supply.
