    While we started off using `django-environ` to help manage environment-based/12-factor settings, we've moved away from it in favor of django-classy-settings.

    The biggest knock against django-environ is that it does not treat the `.env` syntax the same as Docker or bash -- meaning that the same environment file can't be reliably used to provide variables for both the container and Django.

    django-classy-settings has been a joy to use, and its code is really simple and readable (~150 lines).
