The natural backend for Django is an OLTP database (MySQL, PostgreSQL), but a growing number of people and companies insist on having a mainly OLAP backend for Django (like Snowflake) . This is a talk on why and the remarkable progress so far.
In this talk we are going to review the progress on making Snowflake a worthy backend for Django:
- Review of community and customer demand for a Snowflake backend for Django.
- Review of the multiple independent implementations created.
- Overview of the corporate-sponsored open-source development that Cedar Cares sponsored Tim Graham (Django Fellow 2014-2019) to develop.
- Review of the Snowflake architecture, upcoming features, and how it matches the Django roadmap.
- Forward looking opportunities for the Django community and Snowflake.
