How to Scale Django
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).

How to exit cleanly from flask and waitress running as a windows pywin32 service
I have spent hours reviewing and testing ways of making waitress exit cleanly (like this and this) but the best I can do so far is a kind of suicidal SIGINT which makes Windows complain "the pipe has been ended" when stopping through the Services control panel, but at least it stops :-/ I guess the pythonservice.exe which pywin32 starts, should not terminate, just the waitress treads?
