In this episode of Running in Production, Kshitij Sinha walks us through his job finding platform called Creative Hire. It was written in Python and Django and is hosted on AWS’ free tier. It’s been up and running since early 2020 after the MVP was built in about 6 weeks.

Kshitij is the solo developer on the project. It’s a monolith split across a few Django apps with 2 git repos (one for the back-end and one for the front-end). It does a quite a bit of NLP to help categorize submissions and more.

Support the Show

This episode does not have a sponsor and this podcast is a labor of love. If you want to support the show, the best way to do it is to purchase one of my courses or suggest one to a friend.

Dive into Docker is a video course that takes you from not knowing what Docker is to being able to confidently use Docker and Docker Compose for your own apps. Long gone are the days of "but it works on my machine!". A bunch of follow along labs are included.

Build a SAAS App with Flask is a video course where we build a real world SAAS app that accepts payments, has a custom admin, includes high test coverage and goes over how to implement and apply 50+ common web app features. There's over 20+ hours of video.
