Episode notes
Django Homepage Should Feel Modern
- Adam Hill proposed a modern redesign for djangoproject.com that emphasizes documentation search and a lively homepage.
- Brian and Michael think a refreshed, frequently updated site would better represent Django's vitality.
Use A Pool For Async SQLite
- If you use SQLite in an async application, use a connection pool so you avoid repeated open/close overhead.
- Try aiosqlitepool to keep caches hot and maximize concurrent throughput before moving off SQLite.
Async Pooling Doubles SQLite Throughput
- aiosqlitepool provides an async connection pool that reuses SQLite connections to cut overhead and warm caches.
- Michael reports roughly 2x throughput and much lower latency in realistic benchmarks versus reopen-per-query patterns.
