Async Django in Production
(jonathanadly.com)
We believe async Django is ready for production. In theory, there should be no performance loss when using async Django instead of FastAPI for the same tasks. Django's built-in features greatly simplify and enhance the developer experience. Using async involves some complexity, as the entire code path must be async. In AI workloads, this complexity is often a worthwhile tradeoff.

Following up "Mother of all Htmx demos"

Initially I wanted to publish such a blog post a year ago. It had been a crazy year since DjangoCon Europe 2022, and I thought that writing some follow-up a year after that talk would be relevant. Well you know what, the year after that has been even crazier. I am so exhausted that I had to quit the awesome company called Contexte after more than 7 years.

Preventing downtime during deployments is crucial for maintaining service availability and ensuring a positive user experience. Blue-green deployments have emerged as a popular strategy to achieve this goal. However, they introduce challenges, especially when dealing with database changes. This article delves into what blue-green deployments are, why database changes can be tricky in this context, and how to navigate common change scenarios effectively in Django.

The Yelp Reservations service (yelp_res) is the service that powers reservations on Yelp. It was acquired along with Seatme in 2013, and is a Django service and webapp. It powers the reservation backend and logic for Yelp Guest Manager, our iPad app for restaurants, and handles diner and partner flows that create reservations.

If the Django Software Foundation had $1M

A couple weeks ago I gave a talk at DjangoCon US about the finances of the Django Software Foundation. I wanted to give folks a high-level understanding of our current financial situation, and then imagine a world where we had a substantially-larger budget.

Richard Terry demonstrated this in a lightning talk at DjangoCon US today. It's the latest in a long line of attempts to get Django to work with a single file (I had a go at this problem 15 years ago with djng) but this one is really compelling.

DJP: A Plugin System for Django
(simonwillison.net)
DJP is a new plugin mechanism for Django, built on top of Pluggy. I announced the first version of DJP during my talk yesterday at DjangoCon US 2024, How to design and implement extensible software with plugins. I’ll post a full write-up of that talk once the video becomes available—this post describes DJP and how to use what I’ve built so far.
