Static files in Django

How do you "serve" files like images, videos, css, and JavaScript?

• Docs
• Django Storages

1. Self-Hosted
   • Static File Server (your own via NGINX not Django)
   • Whitenoise (on Heroku; not-recommended for long term)
   • AWS S3 / Google Cloud Storage
2. CDN
   • Use PUBLIC cdn files
   • Create our own CDN
     • AWS CloudFront
     • Google Cloud CDN
     • CloudFlare
     • Stackpath
