How to Decouple Your App From its Operating System with Docker
We regularly update and improve our upgrades and sustainability service offerings at Caktus, and a recent upgrade for a client precipitated a solution that I felt might be worth sharing. At Caktus, the preferred approach for addressing upgrades and sustainability is to make incremental updates to a project over time, trying to keep both Django and the servers themselves on a long-term support version. These are select versions of Django and Ubuntu, for example, that generally have much longer support periods than other versions, i.e., they are a good fit for applications that you will need to continue maintaining well into the future. We continue to host large projects for our customers that we began as early as 2010, and we've applied this methodology throughout the past decade to keep systems updated and mitigate risk. One such project currently includes upwards of 40 servers (across several environments), all provisioned automatically with a tool built for that purpose. This client also requires the systems to be run on physical hardware that we also help manage, rather than in the cloud. Upgrading Python but Not the OS Recently we wanted to upgrade the version of Python used for this application, but weren't … -
Future of Jazzband
There were a number of requests to financially support Jazzband over the years and many questions arose around how to continue to grow Jazzband without risking the maintenance of the existing projects. So to support the continued development of Jazzband, an application to the Fiscal Sponsorship program of the Python Software Foundation was submitted earlier this year. And the good news is: Jazzband has been accepted! That will allow Jazzband for the first time to receive donations from its individual and corporate users to offset infrastructure cost and work on plans for the future. Here’s the donation link: https://jazzband.co/donate -

Project teams
Five years ago, Jazzband was launched to help Python projects that struggle to continue maintenance for various reasons, e.g. when original authors don’t have time anymore to continue the maintenance. Jazzband has grown quite a bit since then: over 1300 people in total have decided to become members over the past 5 years, of which over 900 current members remain as of writing this post. At the same time over 50 projects have been transferred to Jazzband and adopted the Jazzband guidelines, Code of Conduct and project maintenance patterns. A handful of projects decided to leave Jazzband again for a number of reasons, which provided plenty of experience for how to improve the Jazzband processes and documentation. It’s clear that Jazzband can be better and needs to adapt to the members’ needs. One area in particular was brought up often: the communication between those members that are interested in contributing to only specific and not all of the existing Jazzband projects. So as a first step to fix this: Jazzband introduce self-service project teams! What are project teams? Project teams are optional, self-service groups of Jazzband members that are interested in working on specific projects. Project teams are based on … -

The art of the SWAG
Sometimes, it’s more important to be able to produce a quick estimate than it is to produce a good one. In those cases, reach for the SWAG: the Simple Wild-Ass Guess. To a large degree making a (good) SWAG is an intuitive process, but I’ve tried to unpack what’s happening in that short moment and give some thoughts about when a SWAG is appropriate, and how to give one. -

DjangoCon Europe 2021 Sale of “Speed Up Your Django Tests”
I released my book Speed Up your Django Tests (SUYDT) just over a year ago, on the 18th May. It’s had a great reception, with 379 customers so far, many writing in to say how it has improved their test suites’ performance and readability. Additionally, this week I’m speaking at the second virtual DjangoCon Europe. My talk is at 9:15 am on Friday, on a topic related to the book: Speed up your tests with setUpTestData. If you’re attending, I look forward to seeing you there! (It’s still possible to buy tickets, and I believe it will be during the conference.) To celebrate these two occurrences, I’m offering a 33% discount on the list price of SUYDT. This takes it from $49 to $32, licensed for up to three developers. The discount lasts until the final day of DjangoCon Europe, Sunday the 6th June, “anywhere on Earth”. It also stacks with the regional discount of 50% off for those who live outside the GDP top 50. Find out more and buy on Gumroad. The current edition is based on Django 3.0 (and older). I’m partway through updating the content for changes up to Django 3.2, and should publish the update … -
