Upgrade to Django 1.6 and add CONN_MAX_AGE: 60 #51

Closed carlgieringer closed 2 years ago

carlgieringer commented 6 years ago

There are only two substantive changes: upgrading Django to 1.6 so that we can add CONN_MAX_AGE: 60, which leaves DB connections open for re-use for 60s. This should help a little with handling load.

The other changes are mostly related to load testing and taking notes on what I did for load testing so that someone can recreate later.
