FIXING EFFICIENCY REGRESSIONS - Fixing the obvious. - Don't do
useless work. - Cache things that don't change. - Change a .py to a .pyx: Cython. - Rewrite in C.
tightly integrated loosely coupled
make the easy things easy and the hard things possible
— Mike Krieger “SUPER EASY SETUP.”
— Mike Krieger “THE PIECES WERE PLUGGABLE ENOUGH... EVEN WITH
OUR OWN ORM WE COULD USE MOST OF THE REST OF DJANGO.”
AN INCOMPLETE LIST OF THE DJANGO WE RELY ON -
HTTP stack - requests and responses - contrib.sessions - contrib.auth - middleware - url routing - settings - forms - i18n - contrib.gis - django.utils - cache backends - HTTP decorators - CSRF - signals - management commands
