Improving One of Django's Most Used APIs — Not the One You're Thinking Of

TALK: Improving One of Django's Most Used APIs — And It's Not the One You're Thinking Of by Andrew Miller

What Could Django Provide? Packages like django-prodserver give us a safe space to try ideas in the open. What naming makes sense? What hooks should Django expose for the ecosystem to build on? Could this eventually lead to production server support in core? I'll share some thoughts and invite the community to shape what comes next for prodserver and more broadly for designing new APIs through the experimental API feature that has been proposed. Takeaways Attendees will leave with: - A new way of thinking about Django's CLI and settings as API surfaces - Practical knowledge of django-prodserver they can use today - Ideas for how the community can shape Django's deployment future - Considerations for API design and how the experimental APIs proposal could open new paths for Django's development
