The answers to this question -- Does Django scale? -- which asks the same, are about 2.5 years out of date. I'm hoping this would make for a nice discussion / potential wiki about the subject and relevant links around it.

1Hi David, StackOverflow is not the place for discussions. StackOverflow is a Q&A site for objective questions about a specific programming problem you're facing. While this is a great question and topic, it just doesn't fit the goal of this site. Good luck! – jamesmortensen May 20 '12 at 00:20

The answer to this question will be - yes and no.
Scalability of a web application purely depends on implementation and your requirements. If done correctly (requirements suites Django) then,
- Django scales horizontally pretty well.
- Every thing scales Vertically, Django is no exception.
For more guidelines about scaling large scale,

And please next time do your homework before asking here.
