Pyohio_2025 Calvin Hendryx-Parker https://www.pyohio.org/2025/program/talks/deploy-django Deploying code shouldn’t be stressful. But too often, the journey from local dev to production is fragile, manual, and hard to debug. This talk is about building peace of mind into your pipeline — with GitOps, Kubernetes, and open source tools like Argo CD that make continuous delivery predictable, repeatable, and scalable from the very first release to the 50th. We’ll tackle the realities of “day two”…

Django’s runserver automatically reloads when you change Python files. Without this autoreloading feature, you’d need to manually restart the server every time you made a code change. However, the default autoreloading implementation is inefficient, as it constantly polls the filesystem for changes. The alternative to polling is to …

Hello Djangonauts, At the end of this month, I'll be stepping away from my role as Django Fellow for some time while I'm on maternity leave. During this period, I don't anticipate being active on Trac, in PR reviews, on the Forum, or on Discord. I would appreciate folks giving me space to settle in with my new baby. Django will be well looked after by our Fellows, Natalia Bidart and Jacob Walls, who will continue supporting the project and community while I'm away. I'm grateful to be part of su…

One thing I wanted to add to this blog for a long time was full text search. Content is steadily increasing and sometimes I have a hard time finding the exact right post to link to when writing a new post. My wife was also complaining that she could never find the post about backups for artists when she wanted to link it. So what a better way to spend a few hours of my vacation than to add full text search functionality. Usually when adding search to a system people eye ElasticSearch. A monstro…

LLMs are making me a better programmer… I’m still undecided about LLMs for programming. Sometimes they are very useful, especially when working on a clearly stated problem within a delimited area. Cleaning the code up afterwards is painful and takes a long time though. Even for small changes I’m unsure if using LLMs is a way to save (any) resources, be it time, water, energy or whatever. They do help me get started, and help me be more ambitious. That’s not a new idea. Simon Willison wrote a po…
