Deployment: remove memcached

[praseodym]

Let's just create sessions in the database instead of deploying memcached.

Isn't memcached use for caching instead of sessions? 🤔

Default for sessions is db storage: so just don't set it for production should be the way to go for this

SESSION_ENGINE = env("SESSION_ENGINE", default="django.contrib.sessions.backends.db")

Production config is as follows:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': 'localhost:11211',
        'KEY_PREFIX': 'dienst2',
    }
}

SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'

And I don't think the cache is used anywhere else?

Django does some automatic caching for some stuff, but not sure what exactly 😅

We could also switch the cache to db or maybe local memory

Local memory cache + sessions in database sounds like the way to go.
