Zero-configuration Django support

By Steven Van ·

Vercel now detects manage.py and a Django app's WSGI or ASGI entrypoint automatically, serving static files from its CDN without extra setup.

Django apps can now deploy to Vercel with zero configuration, according to Vercel's Django documentation. Vercel detects manage.py, reads the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE, and resolves the WSGI or ASGI entrypoint from your project settings, so there's no need for redirects in vercel.json or routing requests through an /api folder.

Static files are served from the Vercel CDN once STATIC_ROOT is set, with collectstatic run automatically during the build. Deployments use Fluid compute with Active CPU pricing by default, and Django Channels can be added for WebSocket support over the ASGI entrypoint.
