was away from django development for close to a decade, decided to jump in for a smallish project. don't wanna use my preferred IDE from way back when (pycharm) and am trying to use vscodium.

with the standard python and django extensions, the autocompletion/suggestion is... uh, lacking. what else do I need? a search in the marketplace nets tons of suggestions, don't know which are superfluous, overlapping, deprecated...

I hope support for this project will spread and grow.

Django VTasks is a faster and asyncio-friendly django.tasks extension supporting ORM and valkey/redis backends. Scheduler, unique, batch, and prioritize tasks embedded in your ASGI app or as a standalone worker.

4x faster than celery. I made this because I wanted a more ergonomic and faster task framework for GlitchTip.

Announcing a project I've been working on. django-vcache is an asyncio-friendly and fast Django cache backend for Valkey/Redis. Uses the Rust redis crate and a Python bridge to achieve high performance. Let me know what questions you have about it.

In a general push for removing Microsoft, Google and any US or other non-EU dependency, the French government has been rapidly creating an open source set of productivity tools called "LaSuite", in collaboration with the Netherlands & Germany.

LaSuite is allegedly being developed using Django.
