Automatic Django configuration and utilities for Heroku

Quickstart

Simplify Django configuration in two easy steps:

Include django-herokuify and pylibmc packages in your requirements.txt file.

In the Django settings.py of your Heroku project add:

import herokuify

from herokuify.common import *              # Common settings, SSL proxy header
from herokuify.aws import *                 # AWS access keys as configured in env
from herokuify.mail.mailgun import *        # Email settings for Mailgun add-on
from herokuify.mail.sendgrid import *       # ... or Sendgrid

DATABASES = herokuify.get_db_config()       # Database config
CACHES = herokuify.get_cache_config()       # Cache config for Memcache/MemCachier

Additionally, you can use storage backends that works well with Amazon S3 and Django Compressor:

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "herokuify.storage.S3MediaStorage"
MEDIA_URL = "https://{0}.s3.amazonaws.com/media/".format(AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME)

STATICFILES_STORAGE = "herokuify.storage.CachedS3StaticStorage"
STATIC_URL = "https://{0}.s3.amazonaws.com/static/".format(AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME)

COMPRESS_STORAGE = "herokuify.storage.CachedS3StaticStorage"
COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True

Note: The pylibmc package entry in your project's root requirements.txt file is necessary for Heroku Django buildpack to properly configure the libmemcached C dependency.
