How to update my django app after code changes - so that it is quickly seen in browser

[pg_86]

Hey team, I just started using OLS Django machine image on GCP, and I find it really awesome, thanks for open-sourcing such a powerful resource.

I am new to web app development, so please forgive me if my questions are obvious to some of you. However, I did a fair amount of google research before posting this thread, so I feel I am excused.

My question is following: How can I quickly see changes I make to my code in the web app? Right now it takes forever (and more worryingly: random) amount of time for my code changes to be reflected in web-app, even when I refresh my browser or go into incognito mode.

Quick description:
- I am using https://docs.litespeedtech.com/cloud/images/django/ on Google Cloud Platform
- I have managed to connect DNS properly to "my_domain.com" (this is just an example, I don't want to expose my real domain), so when i put www.my_domain.com, I see "Hello, world!" as expected
- I want to change the text in the demo app:

change from

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world!")

into

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, everyone!")

It does happen, but I have to wait a a very long time, and often this time varies between different changes I make. Obviously, this is not ideal for development, as I would like to see changes immediately.

What would be a solution for that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

OpenLiteSpeed comes with python in detached mode by default, so you will need to restart python with the following command to make any new settings take effect:

sudo killall lswsgi
