Django + Vercel
This example shows how to use Django 4 on Vercel with Serverless Functions using the Python Runtime.
Demo
https://django-template.vercel.app/
How it Works
Our Django application, example is configured as an installed application in api/settings.py:
# api/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...
'example',
]
We allow "*.vercel.app" subdomains in ALLOWED_HOSTS, in addition to 127.0.0.1:
# api/settings.py
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', '.vercel.app']
The wsgi module must use a public variable named app to expose the WSGI application:
# api/wsgi.py
app = get_wsgi_application()
The corresponding WSGI_APPLICATION setting is configured to use the app variable from the api.wsgi module:
# api/settings.py
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'api.wsgi.app'
There is a single view which renders the current time in example/views.py:
# example/views.py
from datetime import datetime
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
now = datetime.now()
html = f'''
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello from Vercel!</h1>
<p>The current time is { now }.</p>
</body>
</html>
'''
return HttpResponse(html)
This view is exposed a URL through example/urls.py:
# example/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from example.views import index
urlpatterns = [
path('', index),
]
Finally, it's made accessible to the Django server inside api/urls.py:
# api/urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
...
path('', include('example.urls')),
]
This example uses the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) with Django to enable handling requests on Vercel with Serverless Functions.
Running Locally
python manage.py runserver
Your Django application is now available at http://localhost:8000.
