Versioned static assets with Django and Docker

Managing static assets in Django applications deployed with Docker can be tricky, especially when dealing with deployment rollbacks and static file optimization.

I wrote an overview of the challenges of handling static assets with Docker, and how using versioned static files can help streamline deployments, improve rollback efficiency, and avoid overwriting critical assets.

If you're managing static files in a Dockerized Django setup, this post covers: - Common issues with running collectstatic during deployment. - The pros and cons of running collectstatic during Docker build. - A solution for versioning static assets using semantic versioning to ensure consistency and simplify rollbacks.
