django-simple-deploy. Eric Matthes presented a lightning talk about this project at PyCon US this morning. "Django has a deploy command now". You can run it like this:

pip install django-simple-deploy[fly_io]
# Add django_simple_deploy to INSTALLED_APPS.
python manage.py deploy --automate-all

It's plugin-based (inspired by Datasette!) and the project has stable plugins for three hosting platforms: dsd-flyio, dsd-heroku and dsd-platformsh.

Currently in development: dsd-vps - a plugin that should work with any VPS provider, using Paramiko to connect to a newly created instance and run all of the commands needed to start serving a Django application.
