I need an experienced Django full-stack developer to move my existing real-estate website—currently running property search and filter functionality—onto a new DigitalOcean setup. The codebase is stable, written in Python with Django and PostgreSQL/MySQL support, and we already maintain a comprehensive automated test suite that must pass unchanged after migration. Your work will involve: • Re-creating the production environment on DigitalOcean (Droplets, managed database, object storage or equivalents as needed). • Handling database export/import and verifying data integrity and search performance. • Configuring CI/CD so our current tests run automatically on each deploy. • Hardening security, setting up backups, monitoring, and providing clear hand-off documentation. No new features are required; the goal is a seamless lift-and-shift with minimal downtime and identical behaviour for users. If you have at least three years of hands-on experience deploying and maintaining Django applications on DigitalOcean, I’d like to hear how you would tackle the move and timeline estimates so we can schedule the cut-over confidently.

I can handle the seamless lift-and-shift migration of your Django real-estate platform to DigitalOcean while ensuring zero functional changes and maintaining full data integrity. My core expertise is in Python, Django, and PostgreSQL architectures. I specialize in deploying and optimizing systems where accuracy, search performance, and structural stability are vital. Recently, I developed and managed a custom deterministic data engine built entirely with Python and PostgreSQL for high-stakes environments where exact data parsing and strict auditability were mandatory. This background means I understand how to handle complex database migrations, schema verification, and performance optimizations for your property filters without breaking existing structures. I will configure your DigitalOcean Droplets, set up managed databases and secure object storage, and wire your existing automated test suite into a robust CI/CD pipeline so every test passes seamlessly before cut-over. I estimate 5 to 7 days for staging setup, testing, and a zero-downtime final production migration.
