# Zero\-configuration Django support **Published:** April 9, 2026 | **Authors:** Michael J\. Sullivan, Daniel Park, Yury Selivanov, Marcos Grappeggia --- [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/), one of the most popular high-level [Python](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/runtimes/python) web frameworks, for rapid development, is now supported with zero-configuration. You can now instantly deploy Django full-stack apps or APIs on Vercel. Vercel now recognizes and deeply understands the specifications of Django applications, removing the need for redirects in `vercel.json` or using the `/api` folder. All applications on Vercel use [Fluid compute](https://vercel.com/fluid) with [Active CPU pricing](https://vercel.com/blog/introducing-active-cpu-pricing-for-fluid-compute) by default. Static files will be served by the [Vercel CDN](https://vercel.com/cdn). Deploy [Django on Vercel](https://vercel.com/templates/python/django-notes) or visit the Django on Vercel [documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/backend/django) ### Example Django app CLI entry point **manage.py** ```python import os import sys os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "app.settings") from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) ``` Project settings **app/settings.py** ```python SECRET_KEY = "my-secret-key" DEBUG = False ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["localhost", "127.0.0.1", ".vercel.app"] ROOT_URLCONF = "app.urls" WSGI_APPLICATION = "app.wsgi.application" INSTALLED_APPS = ["app"] ``` URL routing table **app/urls.py** ```python from django.urls import path from app.views import index urlpatterns = [ path("", index), ] ``` Request handlers **app/views.py** ```python from django.http import HttpResponse def index(request): return HttpResponse("hello, world!") ``` WSGI entry point **app/wsgi.py** ```python import os from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "app.settings") application = get_wsgi_application() ``` --- 📚 **More updates:** [View all changelog entries](/changelog/sitemap.md) | [Blog](/blog/sitemap.md)
