After the DjangoCon Europe coffee break, back into the room for @jake ☕️
Django supports multiple database connections, but leaves it up to you to manage how to use them and which queries to send where… let’s dig into this 🙂
Last talk of the first day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
Now listening to Tim Bell 🎤
As tables get extremely large, the abstraction starts to break down and performance issues show up… curious to see how partitioning helps in real-world cases 🙂
First keynote of DjangoCon Europe 2026 just started 🎤
Really happy to see @carlton on stage opening with a talk about keeping Python dynamic while adding small “static islands” where they actually help, curious to see how this lands 🙂
We're celebrating 20 years of Django by giving back -- because open source runs on more than just caffeine 💚
@django is so close to hitting their yearly goal! If Django has ever saved you a late night or helped you ship faster, now's the perfect time to say thanks! 🎁

This week we’ll be at @djangoconeurope 2026 in Athens as Bronze sponsors, with two of us around.
Glenn will be there following talks and catching up on what’s new in the Django world, Juliana both attending and helping out as part of the volunteer crew.
DjangoCon is always more than a conference for us: it’s where the community comes together, and where we keep growing.
If you’re there, come say hi 👋
(and check the tote bags… you might find something 👀)

Not finished yet, lacking docs and very early stage, but as far I remember, core functionality is done. I'm implementing this into another project, and I want to share it with the community.

In a couple talks now, I've claimed that using django-simple-deploy should be a good way for experienced developers to try out a new hosting platform.
Before this morning, I had never actually used Render. I started reading the docs in order to help a new plugin author, but I quickly stopped and just tried their plugin.
It worked, and it was *so much easier* to run `git diff` and see what changes the plugin made to my sample project.

A few weeks ago, Kraken Tech released Django Subatomic. This is a set of wrappers around Django's `atomic`, providing a stricter, more intentional API for managing database transactions in Django projects. I think this is a great idea and would encourage you to try it!
Full disclosure: I'm helping to maintain it.

Check out this series of Django articles by @jerivas and various OddBirds emeritus. https://www.oddbird.net/tags/django/
What if Django had an automatic ORM feature matrix — showing which features each database really supports, straight from the code? 🧩
I’ve shared some ideas (with demo data!) on how it could work and why it’d be great for Django’s docs 💡

I’m so happy to be here with so many amazing people from the Django community. Some are old friends, and others I’ll get to know in the next few days. 🌞

The second morning of Django On The Med 🏖️ just finished and it’s amazing how much we achieved together.
Many new ideas and feature proposals came up while working side by side. Sometimes, being together really helps speed up things. 💪
We also had fun breaking the pony-shaped piñata! 🐴 Now it’s time to relax a bit before the afternoon.
Sending our greetings to Wagtail Space 2025 as it’s about to start! 🌍
This week, we sent a statement to a couple of Danish IT news outlets about Django turning 20: Because we believe that it's relevant to debate open source in the public, and to promote its success.
We heard back from one of them that they don't think it's "societal" enough. So saddle up everyone, we still have some work to do, to make the general public aware of the importance of open source projects!!
