whitenoise VS django-jazzmin

You can use whitenoise. https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise

We’ll use this library to serve our static admin files. I’m not going to go over all the configuration details here, but you can feel free follow them on your own. Make sure the static files are part of the Lambda package.

I'm trying to serve static files through WhiteNoise as per Heroku's recommendation. When I run collectstatic in my development environment, this happens:

Waitress - for serving your application easily (pairs very well with Whitenoise).

3) Caching static assets - both of static assets. So maybe try deploying a Django app in a production environment and cache the static assets. You could put them behind a service like Cloudflare which will take care of that for you, or have a look at something like [Whitenoise](https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise) which will add the correct HTTP headers for you. You can spend some time reading about HTTP Caching headers and even try writing a simple middleware which caches certain requests to your Django app (just for learning purposes).

FWIW, I always use Whitenoise to serve Static files when I use Heroku, and only keep Media files on AWS. It works well.

In the beginning of the project, I chose Google Cloud Platform as the "Cloud Provider". But for simplicity and easy to use I switched to WhiteNoise to serve staticfiles.

There are also alternative admin themes (e.g. https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin) that you might like, which would replace the whole look and feel.

You could use Jazzmin > https://django-jazzmin.readthedocs.io/, or you could move the project to Wagtail. You get a lot out of the box with Wagtail but it could be overkill for your project.

You could add some style to the to the admin with this app https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin/blob/master/docs/index.md

Instead, if you are looking for an admin replacement you could give a look to django-jazzmin (I’m not the author), it is a recent package and even if there are many issues it seems to be maintained (for now).

This is pretty good. However, there was another one that's been around a bit longer that's also really nice. See here: https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin

Django Jazzmin

One of my Favorite ones is Django-Jazzmin which is a drop-in app with plenty of things you can easily customize, including a built-in UI customizer.

I've been using Django Jazzmin. It's got some nuances that I've had to work around but it looks a lot better than the plain admin interface. It's more mobile friendly too but, again, not perfect.
