Which is the best python REST framework (preferably async platform) for an API gateway which would frontend the requests to these micro-services?
Are there any evaluations done for the python/async based platform (that is running in production)? Specifically looking at starlette, sanic, falcon or aiohttp? We are having more than a dozen of micro-services that are running in AWS on kubernetes platform. Designing an API gateway which would frontend the requests to these micro-services. We would be hitting close to 10K requests per sec during the peak, and the average trend of about 1k requests per sec during off peak. Flask and Django posed some issues, since most of these calls are inline calls to these micro-services (will be blocked anywhere from 1 to 3 secs range per request/response roundtrip). Would be great to get insights and feedback on the above frameworks.

First django form is submitted, then second form will open. When second form will be submitted and validated, I wantI first form data to store in db
I am doing user registration with Phone verification using OTP. I have two forms: UserRegisterForm and PhoneOTP form. When user will submit UserRegisterForm then I want to save this form data temporary and then open the PhoneOTP form to take OTP from the user. When this form will submit and validated, then only I will take the UserRegisterForm data and will save to the database. So, how can I access the first form i.e. UserRegisterForm data when PhoneOTP is submitted?? I was trying to use Django Form Wizard. But, I thought that Form wizards are used only if a single form is split into multiple pages. But, in my case, I have two different forms. -
White line between divs
I'm trying to add some css to my site i'm working on, in order to practice django. So, i bumped into some problems with two divs, more precisely with a space or white line between them. If i type simple text, everything is ok and there's no white line. Also, i had an issue with p and other tags, but eventually figured it out and got rid of white line by setting paddings and margins to 0. But what i am supposed to do with these block content - i don't know. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <style> body{ padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } .sidebar{ background-color: red; } .main-content{ background-color: blue; margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style> <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title> </head> <body> <div class="sidebar"> <a href="#">Home</a> <a href="#">Lists</a> <a href="#">Create</a> </div> <div class="main-content"> {% block content %}{% endblock %} </div> </body> </html> So, there's a white line between two divs (.sidebar and .main-content) and i have no idea why would it show up there. I also tried overflow: hidden, but it didn't quite solve the problem. It substituted the white line with padding or something i have no control over, meaning couldn't get rid of it anyways. … -
How to set Django to default None if a database query for a FileField fails? (e.g. a ValueError)
I have to make a series of queries for FileFields linked to a database's entries; for optimal succinctness I figured putting all the queries in a single dictionary, like {"<code>.mml</code> File":musicXMLObject.mmlFile.url,"<code>.m2</code> File":musicXMLObject.m2File.url,"<code>.wav</code> File":musicXMLObject.wavFile.url} would suffice. All of these FileFields have null=True and blank=True set, so it's inevitable that a ValueError will be triggered if it so happens that a database entry doesn't have a file on hand. Is there by chance an option to default failed queries that would otherwise trigger ValueError to instead output None? I know that a quick and easy workaround to this problem would be to simply use if statements, something like if musicXMLObject.mmlFile: //do stuff if musicXMLObject.m2File: //do stuff if musicXMLObject.wavFile: //do stuff but that option isn't nearly as succinct as a single dictionary. Thoughts? -
A way to define recurring with string or json?
I am looking for a way to define recurring with string or json string I need a non-hardcoded way to define recurring, for example, some client want to do some work every two weeks, some want to do it every half month. I cannot hardcode such recurring. Instead I want a way to define for each client in database, something like 'every two weeks, starting 2019-09-01', and then a existing class to parse it and return a well-formed result to use. -
With Django, how can validate input wiht unique_togther for two columns on two different tables?
I'm working on a rest API to track inventory of Laptops and Monitors. Each item is its own table and its own model, and I need away to have an "asset_tag" field unique across both. Both models inherit the "asset_tag" attribute from an abstract class "TaggedItem" as shown in the code. I've done some digging and I I know that the model option unique_together can validate uniqueness across fields in the same table. But I don't know how to get it to reference fields in different tables. from django.db import models class TaggedItem(models.Model) ASSET_TAG = models.CharField(max_length=8) class Meta: abstract = True unique_together = [] # <-- This is the part that isn't working class Laptop(TaggedItem): NOTES = models.CharField(max_length=255, default="") class Monitor(TaggedItem) NOTES = models.CharField(max_length=255, default="") -

chained dropdown menu is not working properly
I have three chained dropdown menus which are not working properly. these three menus based on three variables passed from previous page. I want to connect them together. So when one item is selected other menu will have option based on this item. The three menus are for city, category, and subcategories. This is ads-classified website. I used Django 1.11.4 as a frame work combined with ajax to do this feature. For now, I connect only the second menu with the third one (category with sub-category). When I changed the second menu, the third one gives me an empty menu. I tried to figure it out but with no luck. Following is the code I wrote: The url: # url for the load_subcategories url(r'^ajax/load-subcategories/$', views.load_subcategories, name='ajax_load_subcategories'), # url for list page: url(r'^(?P<post_city>[\w\ ]+)/(?P<category_name>[\w\ ]+)/(?P<sub_category_name>[\w\ ]+)$', views.list_page, name='list_page'), The view functions are as follow: def load_subcategories(request): category_name_id = request.GET.get('category_id') sub_categories = Post_Sub_Category.objects.filter(category_name_id=category_name_id).order_by('sub_category_name') return render(request, 'towns/salehslist/sub_categories_dropdown_list_options.html', {'sub_categories': sub_categories}) def list_page(request, post_city, category_name, sub_category_name): template = 'towns/salehslist/list_page.html' if post_city is None: post_city = 'الرياض' if category_name is None: category_name = 'للبيع' if sub_category_name is None: sub_category_name = 'سيارات' # main (header) search query_fc = request.GET.get('h_qc') query_fcc = request.GET.get('h_qcc') query_fsc = request.GET.get('h_qsc') if query_fc: … -
How to relate an object and feild in django?
Actually i didn't know how to ask this question. Say i have choices for subjects in my code with a subject code and subject name where i will use the get_object_display ORM to display the subject name. ... SUBJECTS = (('MA8151','Engineering Mathematics'),('PH8151','Physics-1'),...) subject = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=SUBJECTS) What I want is, i want to add another feature to the choice, that each choice has subject name, subject code and a credit point for it. I thought of creating a model ... subname = models.CharField(max_length=100) subcode = models.CharField(max_length=6) credit = models.SmallPositiveInteger() But since i'm new to django, i don't know how this will work on linking an object the name of a choice? On the whole, if i assign a subcode for a student, i want his records to be updated with relevant subname and relevant credit points. Help me out reaching the solution. Thanks in advance! -
Django ORM and GROUP BY
Newcommer to Django here. I'm currently trying to fetch some data from my model with a query that need would need a GROUP BY in SQL. Here is my simplified model: class Message(models.Model): mmsi = models.CharField(max_length=16) time = models.DateTimeField() point = models.PointField(geography=True) I'm basically trying to get the last Message from every distinct mmsi number. In SQL that would translates like this for example: select a.* from core_message a inner join (select mmsi, max(time) as time from core_message group by mmsi) b on a.mmsi=b.mmsi and a.time=b.time; After some tries, I managed to have something working similarly with Django ORM: >>> mf=Message.objects.values('mmsi').annotate(Max('time')) >>> Message.objects.filter(mmsi__in=mf.values('mmsi'),time__in=mf.values('time__max')) That works, but I find my Django solution quite clumsy. Not sure it's the proper way to do it. Looking at the underlying query this looks like this : >>> print(Message.objects.filter(mmsi__in=mf.values('mmsi'),time__in=mf.values('time__max')).query) SELECT "core_message"."id", "core_message"."mmsi", "core_message"."time", "core_message"."point"::bytea FROM "core_message" WHERE ("core_message"."mmsi" IN (SELECT U0."mmsi" FROM "core_message" U0 GROUP BY U0."mmsi") AND "core_message"."time" IN (SELECT MAX(U0."time") AS "time__max" FROM "core_message" U0 GROUP BY U0."mmsi")) I'd appreciate if you could propose a better solution for this problem.

Manually populate the ImageField remotely
Let me start off by explaining how my program works. I have model in Django like, class Attendance(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) image = models.ImageField(upload_to=func_that_returns_path) Now, I have done this so that I can view the Attendance table rows from Django Admin, but I'm not going to be populating it from the Django Admin. See, I want to populate this table outside of Django. I'll have two programs. One, my Django app and another python script that connects to the server manually and does it's magic. My Django app will be hosted on a server and the script will be kept on my computer. The very first idea I had was to manually connect to the database using mysql-connector and just put the image in the database through it but then I realized that Django models don't actually hold the file itself but the file location. This complicated things. I don't really have any idea other than putting the file in the server through a TCP socket connect and putting the file in the media folder and adding the path to that file in the database. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or what else might work. -
How to paginate external API in Django Rest Framework
