Database Migrations

Always run migrations before deploying:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
python manage.py setup_periodic_tasks

Monitoring

Logging

Configure Django logging for the subscriptions and subscriptions.midtrans loggers:

LOGGING = {
    "version": 1,
    "handlers": {
        "file": {
            "class": "logging.FileHandler",
            "filename": "/var/log/django-subscription/app.log",
        },
    },
    "loggers": {
        "subscriptions": {"handlers": ["file"], "level": "INFO"},
        "subscriptions.midtrans": {"handlers": ["file"], "level": "DEBUG"},
    },
}

Celery Monitoring

Use Flower for Celery task monitoring:

pip install flower
celery -A config flower --port=5555
