Pyramid is the most flexible of the three. It can be used for small apps as we’ve seen here, but it also powers big-name sites like Dropbox. Open Source communities like Fedora choose it for applications like their community badges system, which receives information about events from many of the project’s tools to award achievement-style badges to users. One of the most common complaints about Pyramid is that it presents so many options it can be intimidating to start a new project.
Simple Django WordPress Integration With Django WordPress Api Library
In order to make things easier, I am going to introduce you to Django WordPress Api library, DWA to his friends. It takes advantage of WP REST API v1 to connect in an easy way a WordPress blog with your Django application; allowing you to customize your Django app without giving up the tools that WordPress as a CMS presents to you. In fact, Swapps’ blog page has been created using Django, but this post has been created in WordPress and is being displayed here using this library.
S3SQLite – A Serverless Relational Database
It’s a thin wrapper around the normal Django SQLite database engine, but it automatically syncs the DB file with S3.
Obviously, this will cause problems for high-write applications, but for high-read applications without concurrent writes, it scales very well, it’s trivial to set up, and it’s orders of magnitudes cheaper that AWS RDS.
Implementing faceted search with Django and PostgreSQL
I’ve added a faceted search engine to this blog, powered by PostgreSQL. It supports regular text search (proper search, not just SQL”like” queries), filter by tag, filter by date, filter by content type (entries vs blogmarks vs quotation) and any combination of the above. Some example searches:
- All content matching “postgresql”
- Just quotations matching “django”
- All content matching “python” and “javascript” with the tag “mozilla” posted in 2007
It also provides facet counts, so you can tell how many results you will get back before you apply one of these filters – and get a general feeling for the shape of the corpus as you navigate it.
