  and a built-in deployment checklist.                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                           
  ## About Hosting Django Starter Template                  

  This template deploys a Django 5.2 LTS application with a PostgreSQL database on Railway. It includes production-ready settings out of the box: WhiteNoise for static file serving,
  gunicorn as the WSGI server, Argon2 password hashing, and security headers. The app runs database migrations automatically on each deploy and includes a health check endpoint for
  zero-downtime deployments. Environment variables like SECRET_KEY and DATABASE_URL are configured automatically by Railway.

  ## Why Deploy Django Starter Template on Railway

  Railway handles infrastructure so you can focus on building your Django app. It automatically provisions a PostgreSQL database, sets environment variables, runs migrations on each
  deploy, and provides zero-downtime deployments with health checks. No Dockerfiles, no nginx config, no manual server setup required.

  ## Dependencies for Django Starter Template

  ### Deployment Dependencies

  - **PostgreSQL** — Provisioned automatically by Railway as a linked database service
  - **Python 3.12+** — Detected and installed automatically by Railway's builder
  - **gunicorn** — WSGI server included in the template dependencies
  - **WhiteNoise** — Serves static files directly from the application, no nginx or CDN needed

  ## Common Use Cases

  - Starting a new Django web application with a solid production foundation
  - Building REST APIs or full-stack web apps with Django and PostgreSQL
  - Prototyping and deploying Django projects quickly without manual server configuration
