Questions from a beginner about hosting a Django website

I'm new to webdev in general and pretty much finished my first django project but I'm not sure about a few things when it comes to hosting, would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here:

1.Right now I'm using a DigitalOcean one click app to host my site and it works fine, but is this still a good option when the amount
of traffic for example is increasing?

2.So I've seen that you can host the database (MySQL) on the server it's self or using a 3rd party service which I'm doing right now
just cause it's easier, is there a reason I would have to run my DB on my server at some point (again e.g more trafic)?

Need help with Javascript and Django

I currently have a very small Javascript application that has a input field and then searches the OMDB API to get results for the entered keyword. I was to dramatically expand the application and for that I need a backend. I’m going to use Django because I have experience with it, but there is one thing I’m not sure about. Should I keep using Javascript to request information from the API, or should i use Django to do it instead? I don’t know which way is the “more correct” way of doing it. Thanks in advance!

MatchIt in python

Do we have something similar to R 'MatchIt' package in python. In order to match study and control items using different methods ( propensity score might be one of them)? I came across CasualInference (http://causalinferenceinpython.org/causalinference.core.html), but it seems somewhat limited to only propensity score.

How do I set a redirect URL to be localhost if debug is true or the production URL if debug is false?

I remember stumbling across an SO post about this but I can't find it anymore. :(

I remember seeing there was a way to at least code in a way to serve static files via local or S3 depending on the value of debug. Anyone know how to do this?

LOGGING not writing to file

I'm trying to set up logging in my app and I can't seem to get it to write to a file, am I missing something obvious?

Let's assume my applications is named myApp and that i have `debug.log` there

thanks in advance!


LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
},
'simple': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
},
},

'handlers': {
'console': {
'level': 'INFO',
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'verbose'
},
'file': {
'level': 'INFO',
'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
'filename': 'debug.log',
},
},
'loggers': {
'myApp': {
'handlers': ['file'],
'propagate': True,
},
'myApp.request': {
'handlers': ['console', 'file'],
'level': 'ERROR',
'propagate': False,
},
}
}

[AF] associating a hyperlink with a python function

How does one associate a link with a python function? I'm trying to make an application that will graph different datasets in matplotlib and display them accordingly. Essentially, when the link is clicked, I want the function to graph the according dataset, output it to an image and then display it on the webpage.

Full disclosure: I'm an absolute noob when it comes to Flask but I know some python and html/css. I'm mainly trying to make a gui for a python app I'm writing but I couldn't figure out Kivy with the amount of time I have and figured this might be a better option.

Thanks in advance

Change the Jupyter Notebook font to Comic Sans

I know this might not be the place to ask this question, but I am a TA and I want to annoy my students. I found this guy [jupyter themes](https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes) who changes the theme for the notebook, but to my chagrin, the themes available do not have comic sans. Would like to hear from you guys soon. Thank you!
