I thought I was reading my own blog post :) We use very similar tech stack at my current company:
- Ansible for provisioning
- Python/Django for website/api
- VueJS for frontend(where needed, some pages are simple Django templates)
- Celery for background work
- uWSGI and Nginx as servers with AWS Load balancer
- Elasticsearch for search
- Redis for caching
- Postgres with Postgis as main datastore
- Datadog for monitoring
- Cloudflare for DNS
Some differences as I am working with a team:
- We do use multiple branches and git tags for releases. Feature branches are also common as multiple devs maybe working on different features.
- We use Gitlab-CI a lot for testing and auto-deployment(ansible script can be called from our machine as well)
- Terraform for infrastructure provisioning. We have stopped provisioning any AWS service by console. Once the service is provisioned by terraform, ansible takes over.
I have tinkered with Docker, Hashicorp Packer but this setup has been dead simple to reason and scale reasonably well.
