Djangos True Complexity

<div class="md">Hey everyone, I benchmarked the major Python frameworks with real PostgreSQL workloads: complex queries, nested relationships, and properly optimized eager loading for each framework (select_related/prefetch_related for Django, selectinload for SQLAlchemy). Each framework tested with multiple servers (Uvicorn, Granian, Gunicorn) in isolated Docker containers with strict resource limits. All database queries are optimized using each framework&#39;s best practices - this is a fair comparison of properly-written production code, not naive implementations. Key finding: performance differences collapse from 20x (JSON) to 1.3x (complex DB queries). Database I/O is the great equalizer - framework choice barely matters for database-heavy apps.

 Full results, code, and a reproducible Docker setup are here: https://github.com/huynguyengl99/python-api-frameworks-benchmark
 If this is useful, a GitHub star would be appreciated 😄
 Frameworks & Servers Tested
  
Django Bolt (runbolt server)
 FastAPI (fastapi-uvicorn, fastapi-granian)
 Litestar (litestar-uvicorn, litestar-granian)
 Django REST Framework (drf-uvicorn, drf-granian, drf-gunicorn)
 Django Ninja (ninja-uvicorn, ninja-granian)
  
Each framework tested with multiple production servers: Uvicorn (ASGI), Granian (Rust-based ASGI/WSGI), and Gunicorn+gevent (async workers).
 Test Setup
  
Hardware: MacBook M2 Pro, 32GB RAM
 Database: PostgreSQL with realistic data (500 articles, 2000 comments, 100 tags, 50 authors)
 Docker Isolation: Each framework runs in its own container with strict resource limits: 
 750MB RAM limit (--memory=750m)
 1 CPU core limit (--cpus=1)
 Sequential execution (start → benchmark → stop → next framework)
 
 Load: 100 concurrent connections, 10s duration, 3 runs (best taken)
  
This setup ensures completely fair comparison - no resource contention between frameworks, each gets identical isolated environment.
 Endpoints Tested
  
/json-1k - Simple 1KB JSON serialization
 /json-10k - Large 10KB JSON serialization
 /db - 10 simple database reads
 /articles?page=1&page_size=20 - Paginated articles with nested authors + tags
 /articles/1 - Single article with author, tags, and all comments
  
Key Results

 Resource Usage Insight
 https://preview.redd.it/pg1obo5qp8fg1.png?width=2084&format=png&auto=webp&s=05e08b41926718f7c2b027582a018c7a8e5438fa
 Memory:
  
Most frameworks: 170-220MB
 DRF-Granian: 640-670MB (WSGI interface vs ASGI for others - Granian's WSGI mode uses more memory)
  
CPU:
  
Most frameworks saturate the 1 CPU limit (100%+) under load
 Granian variants consistently max out CPU across all frameworks
  
Server Performance
  
Uvicorn surprisingly won for Litestar (31,745 RPS), beating Granian
 Granian delivered consistent high performance for FastAPI and other frameworks
 Gunicorn + gevent showed good performance for DRF on simple queries, but struggled with database workloads
  
Key Takeaways
  
Performance gap collapse: 20x difference in JSON serialization → 1.7x in paginated queries → 1.3x in complex queries
 Litestar-Uvicorn dominates simple workloads (31,745 RPS), but FastAPI-Uvicorn wins on complex database queries (550 RPS)
 Database I/O is the equalizer: Once you hit the database, framework overhead becomes negligible. Query optimization matters infinitely more than framework choice.
 WSGI uses more memory: Granian's WSGI mode (DRF-Granian) uses 640MB vs ~200MB for ASGI variants - just a difference in protocol handling, not a performance issue.
  
Bottom line: If you're building a database-heavy API (which most are), spend your time optimizing queries, not choosing between frameworks. They all perform nearly identically when properly optimized.

Just released django-safe-migrations, an open-source static analyzer that checks Django migrations for patterns that can cause production issues.
 What it catches:
  
Adding NOT NULL columns without a default (fails on existing rows)
 Index creation without CONCURRENTLY on PostgreSQL (locks writes)
 AddIndexConcurrently inside atomic migrations (will error)
 Dropping columns while old code still references them
 Using SQL reserved keywords like order or type as column names
 And 14 more patterns
  
Usage:
 pip install django-safe-migrations python manage.py check_migrations 
 Output:
 myapp/0002_add_status.py ERROR [SM001] Adding NOT NULL field 'status' without a default value. This will fail on tables with existing rows. Fix: Add a default value, or split into three migrations: 1. Add field as nullable 2. Backfill existing rows 3. Add NOT NULL constraint 
 CI Integration:
 # .pre-commit-config.yaml repos: - repo: https://github.com/YasserShkeir/django-safe-migrations rev: v0.3.0 hooks: - id: check-migrations 
 Also supports JSON output for CI and SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning.
 Configuration:
 Rules can be disabled globally, by category, or per-app:
 SAFE_MIGRATIONS = { "DISABLED_RULES": ["SM006"], "DISABLED_CATEGORIES": ["informational"], "APP_RULES": { "legacy_app": {"DISABLED_RULES": ["SM002"]} } } 
 Or inline with comments:
 migrations.RemoveField( # safe-migrations: ignore SM002 model_name='user', name='old_field', )

Hey everyone,
 I've been building job board aggregators for a while, and the most painful part was always the data ingestion.
 I started like everyone else: writing simple BeautifulSoup scripts. Then the sites added JavaScript rendering, so I switched to Selenium. Then they added Cloudflare and IP bans, and I spent more time fixing broken selectors than actually building features.
 So, I decided to over-engineer a solution and turn it into a proper API. I just launched TechJobsData to solve this permanently.
 The Tech Stack: I wanted this to be robust, so I moved away from fragile cron jobs.
  
Backend: Python & Django (DRF for the API endpoints).
 Scraping Engine: Scrapy (much faster/lighter than Selenium).
 Task Queue: Celery + Redis. I have a periodic task that triggers spiders for LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and specialized remote boards (WeWorkRemotely, RemoteOK) every few hours.
 Infrastructure: Docker & PostgreSQL.
  
The Hardest Technical Challenges:
  
Anti-Bot Systems: Getting past Cloudflare on sites like Indeed was a nightmare. I had to implement heavy middleware for User-Agent rotation and residential proxies to avoid 403s.
 Data Normalization: "Senior Python Dev" on one site is "Sr. Backend Engineer (Python)" on another. I built a normalization layer to clean up titles, salaries, and locations into a standardized JSON format.
 Throttling: I implemented custom Django throttling classes to handle different tiers (Free vs. Paid) so one user doesn't crash the DB.
  
The Result: A simple REST API that returns clean, JSON-formatted job data. You can filter by skill (e.g., "Python", "React") or location.
 Try it out: I made a Free Tier (20 requests per day) specifically for developers who want to play around with the data for their own side projects or AI models. No credit card needed.

Hi everyone,
 I’m still pretty early in my career, so I’ve been trying to learn Django and backend system design by building complete projects instead of only following tutorials.
 I recently finished a project where I built a document semantic search engine with:
  
Django + HTMX for a server-driven UI
 Celery + Redis for background ingestion
 Qdrant as the vector database
 Hybrid keyword + semantic search
 Document similarity and explainability panels
 Re-indexing pipelines, progress bars, and search analytics
  
The main goal was to understand how real-world RAG-style systems are put together: chunking strategies, embedding orchestration, vector indexing, retrieval, and observability.
 I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from experienced Django devs:
  
Does the overall architecture make sense?
 Are there parts you’d structure differently?
 Anything that stands out as over-engineered or under-engineered?
  
Here is the repo https://github.com/helios51193/document_search_engine — thanks for reading!

<div class="md">Hello! I am trying to choose between DRF and ninja, and I see a lot of comments mentioning that ninja is for when you need async, without elaboration. I don&#39;t understand why I wouldn&#39;t need async, and most of all, I don&#39;t understand how DRF can even be an option without async. Surely, I don&#39;t understand what people mean by &quot;async&quot;. Let&#39;s suppose somebody is doing something very basic, like querying their user profile. Django will have to fetch the profile in the database. So if I use an option that does not support async, will Django just do nothing while it waits for the answer from the database? If other people are making requests, does that mean Django won&#39;t start processing any of them before the database gives an answer? Is that really what it means?

A couple weeks ago I posted about TranslateBot ( https://github.com/gettranslatebot/translatebot-django ), my "please stop making me copy/paste into Google Translate" open source library for Django .po filse.
 Since then I’ve been shipping fixes pretty quickly, and a bunch of the rough edges are now gone. Here are the highlights from the last ~2 weeks of releases:
 What is new / improved 
 Much more resilient LLM calls
  
Automatic retries with exponential backoff on rate limits of LLM provider (429)
 Clearer error messages when you’re out of credits / have auth issues (instead of cryptic tracebacks)
  
Better correctness for real-world PO files
  
Fuzzy entries are now properly re-translated (and the fuzzy flag gets cleared after).
 Fixes for language/locale edge cases like zh-hans (Traditional Chinese)
  
JSON output parsing is harder to break
  
Handles models that add “Here is the translation:” before the JSON (or models that wrap it in json code fences)
 Fixed a rare but painful issue where the model returns fewer translations than inputs

Hi Everyone!
 I have been working on 'whooplib-django', an unofficial Django library that integrates with Official Whoop API (different from 'django-whoop' which uses reverse-engineered api's)
 My aim is to provide a library for Django devs who want to build apps or dashboards using Whoop data without re-implementing
 1) OAuth
 2) Token refesh
 3) Sync logic management commands 
 This is a early release and I would really appreciate some feedback on this library or any recommendations on good practices.

Looking for feedback on my first library for Django (WHOOP API integration)

<div class="md">Hey everyone, A few months ago I shared AIWAF, a Django-native web application firewall that adapts to real traffic using rate limiting, anomaly detection, dynamic keywords, and honeypots. I wanted to share a small but useful update. Geo-blocking is now available. It works by resolving client IPs against a local GeoIP database and caching results via Django’s cache framework. There are no per-request external API calls, and if GeoIP or cache isn’t available, it fails safely (geo-blocking simply becomes a no-op). How it behaves (high level): <ul> <li>Uses a local .mmdb GeoIP database</li> <li>Caches country lookups to keep overhead low</li> <li>Falls back gracefully if GeoIP or cache is unavailable</li> <li>Fully optional and works alongside existing AIWAF protections</li> <li>Designed for app-layer use cases where route/context awareness matters</li> </ul> This isn’t meant to replace edge-level WAFs, but to cover cases where people want geographic controls inside a Django app (self-hosted apps, internal tools, compliance constraints, etc.). <a href="https://pypi.org/project/aiwaf/">aiwaf · PyPI</a> Feedback welcome, especially around GeoIP edge cases or defaults you’ve found reasonable in production. </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Mediocre_Scallion_99"> /u/Mediocre_Scallion_99 </a> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/1qjftge/aiwaf_django_update_geoblocking_using_local_geoip/">[link]</a> &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/1qjftge/aiwaf_django_update_geoblocking_using_local_geoip/">[comments]</a>

Hey everyone,
 A few months ago I shared AIWAF, a Django-native web application firewall that adapts to real traffic using rate limiting, anomaly detection, dynamic keywords, and honeypots. I wanted to share a small but useful update.
 Geo-blocking is now available.
 It works by resolving client IPs against a local GeoIP database and caching results via Django’s cache framework. There are no per-request external API calls, and if GeoIP or cache isn’t available, it fails safely (geo-blocking simply becomes a no-op).
 How it behaves (high level):
  
Uses a local .mmdb GeoIP database
 Caches country lookups to keep overhead low
 Falls back gracefully if GeoIP or cache is unavailable
 Fully optional and works alongside existing AIWAF protections
 Designed for app-layer use cases where route/context awareness matters
  
This isn’t meant to replace edge-level WAFs, but to cover cases where people want geographic controls inside a Django app (self-hosted apps, internal tools, compliance constraints, etc.).

Hi everyone,
 I’m a huge fan of the FastAPI ecosystem. While I love FastAPI for its performance, I’ve always struggled to find a Python UI framework that matches its "async-first" speed without the developer friction.
 Streamlit is great for prototyping, but the "full script rerun" on every interaction is a performance bottleneck. So, I built Violit. It’s an open-source framework that uses FastAPI as the core engine to deliver a Streamlit-like DX but with O(1) signal-based reactivity.
 Demo
 https://i.redd.it/1ws9ruusrbfg1.gif
 Why FastAPI?
 I chose FastAPI because I wanted Violit to be production-ready and async-native from day one.
  
State over WebSockets: Violit maintains a persistent connection via FastAPI’s WebSocket implementation. When a state (Signal) changes, only the specific component updates—no page refreshes or full script reruns.
 Async-First: Since it’s built on FastAPI, it handles asynchronous tasks (like AI inference or DB queries) without blocking the UI. (This feature will be updated soon.)
 High Throughput: By leveraging Uvicorn/Starlette under the hood, it scales far better than traditional "rerun-based" frameworks.
  
Key Features
  
Zero Rerun Architecture: Pure O(1) state updates.
 90% Streamlit Compatibility: If you know Streamlit, you already know Violit.
 Shoelace Web Components: Modern, accessible UI elements.
 30+ Built-in Themes: Switch from "Cyberpunk" to "Dracula" with one line: app.theme('dracula').
 Native Mode: Package your FastAPI-based web app into a desktop app with --native.
  
Simple Example
 import violit as vl ​ app = vl.App() count = app.state(0) # Reactive Signal ​ # No full script rerun! # FastAPI handles the WebSocket message and updates only the label. app.button("Increment", on_click=lambda: count.set(count.value + 1)) app.write("Current Count:", count) ​ app.run() 
 Feedback Wanted!
 As a fellow FastAPI user, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the architecture. Is there anything you'd like to see in a "FastAPI-based frontend" framework?
  
Repo: https://github.com/violit-dev/violit

 Pytest integration: Zero-config fixtures (ex: timetracer_replay ) to use cassettes in tests.
 Broad Support: Works with httpx, requests, aiohttp, SQLAlchemy, and Redis.
  
Security:
  
Automatic redaction for tokens/headers.
 PII detection (emails/phones) so cassettes are safer to share.

After working with microservices, I kept running into the same annoying problem: reproducing production issues locally is hard (external APIs, DB state, caches, auth, env differences).
 So I built TimeTracer.
 What it does:
  
Records an API request into a JSON “cassette” (timings + inputs/outputs)
 Lets you replay it locally with dependencies mocked (or hybrid replay)
  
What’s new/cool (v1.3 & v1.4):
  
Built-in dashboard + timeline view to inspect requests, failures, and slow calls
 FastAPI + Flask support
 Django support (Django 3.2+ and 4.x, supports sync + async views)
 pytest integration with zero-config fixtures (ex: timetracer_replay) to replay cassettes inside tests
 aiohttp support (now supports the big 3 HTTP clients: httpx, requests, aiohttp)
  
Supports capturing:
 httpx, requests, aiohttp, SQLAlchemy, and Redis
 Security:
  
More automatic redaction for tokens/headers
 PII detection (emails/phones/etc.) so cassettes are safer to share
  
Install:
 pip install timetracer
 GitHub:
 https://github.com/usv240/timetracer
 Contributions are welcome, if anyone is interested in helping (features, tests, docs, or new integrations), I’d love the support.
 Looking for feedback:
 Does this fit your workflow? What would make you actually use something like this next, better CI integration, more database support, improved diffing, or something else?

I kept on running into an issue where i needed to host some files on my server and let others download at their own time, but the files should not exist on the server for an indefinite amount of time.
 So i built an encrypted file/folder sharing platform with automatic file eviction logic.
 What it does:
  
Allows users to upload files without sign up.
 Automatic File eviction from the s3 (rustfs) storage.
 Client side encryption, the server is just a dumb interface between frontend and the s3 storage.
  
What makes it different:
  
Customizable limits from the frontend ui (which is not present in firefox send)
 Future support for CLI and TUI
 Anything the community desires
  
Check it out at: https://chithi.dev
 Please do note that the public server is running from a core 2 duo with 4gb RAM with a 250Mbps uplink shared with my home connection that is running a lot of services.
 Thanks for reading! Happy to have any kind of feedbacks :)

<div class="md">My project has some geographic data and is backed by a postgis container and displays in Leaflet maps.

 The issue I'm having is this: while trying to update my models (which do currently contain test data), I get the usual warning making the migration, stating
 It is impossible to add a non-nullable field 'interests_ptr' to pointofinterest without specifying a default. This is because the database needs something to populate existing rows.
 Please select a fix:
 1) Provide a one-off default now (will be set on all existing rows with a null value for this column)
 2) Quit and manually define a default value in models.py.
 Adding a placeholder value failed because this field is a primary key and so it's creating duplication. At the moment I've backed out the change, restored the database from pre-migration backup, and reassessing. My question is threefold:
  
Is this even the right approach? This is a purely for-fun-and-learning project so my investment in getting it right is focused on good development habits.
 In general, how could I manually make the migration so that a pkey field is populated in a way that won't bork the database?
 In this specific case, is it more reasonable to just nuke the test data and recreate it?

<div class="md">In Modelforms, I pre-fetched a selection of objects but I have to create queryset to pass them into my field. <pre><code>feature_ids = [x.id for x in Feature.objects.filter(...)] self.fields[&quot;feature&quot;].queryset = Feature.objects.filter(id__in=feature_ids) </code></pre> I&#39;m doing this in a couple of different places causing quite performance hit.
