[deployment] postgres #56

We use python-decouple to load in env variables and dj-database-url to just work with a single DB URL, e.g.

DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:password@0.0.0.0:5432/my_db

You can already swap to a postgres db locally to have your dev environment as closely matching to production. Example how we use dj-database-url in settings.py for the DB config:

import dj_database_url
...

DATABASES = {
    'default': dj_database_url.config(
        default=config('DATABASE_URL')
    )
}
