Submitted Sep 9, 2017
Technical level:
Intermediate
Many amateur developers who picks up Django write code which seems to work, but fails at scale.
Django has been made as a The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines, and perfection is often forgotten due to deadlines. In this talk, we’ll discuss about common pitfalls to avoid while working on a Django based web application. Often times we don’t care about what the ORM queries are costing us and if they could be written in a better way.
In the end we’ll look at an overall architecture of entire Django web application including wsgi, nginx, caching and database layer. This would provide a starting point to write clean code and optimizing Django Applications to the audience
Outline
- Profiling our web application to know exactly what queries are being executed on the database.
- Making optimal use of Django ORM to avoid multiple queries to the database.
- Usage of
Fobjects,Qobjects,prefetch_related,select_relatedet. all. - Addressing
n+1queries problems to database with ORM. - Making use of
Asynchronous requeststo avoid creating a backlog for the request-response cycle. A little bit about task queues like Celery. - Caching: Different types of caches to use -- both django caching as well as something like in-memory Redis cache.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with developing Django Applications
- Basic understanding of Django ORM including usage of
QuerysetsandManagers.
