Can runserver be used permanently?

Question

Django

Can this be done for a long time? if not, why not?
screen python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80

Answer 1

In theory, yes. But, the junga documentation says
DO NOT USE THIS SERVER IN A PRODUCTION SETTING. It has not gone through security audits or performance tests. (And that's how it's gonna stay. We're in the business of making Web frameworks, not Web servers, so improving this server to be able to handle a production environment is outside the scope of Django.)
