I am a bit surprised nobody talked about the development time of a micro-service type architecture, it's all good and stuff and intellectually satisfying but to be honest it's like twice the price and far from needed for 99% of projects

m2c

ah you mean like separating the backend into discrete services for different categories of data and processes?

I mean on contrary to a monolithic architecture

ah yeah

well it depends also on your deployment strategy and network stack i'd imagine

Akari__: if you are not starting from scratch yes

any way to put data from multiple html/js text fields together into a single models.TextField()?

there might be other ways to do what i'm trying to do, like a form widget or something

I need to override `from_db_value()` for a custom subclass of `BooleanField` (long story), but the docs say that built-in Fields don't use `form_db_value()`. Is there something else I can override to get the same effect?

How am I supposed to have a production vs. staging vs. testing database with Django? Would I enter them as various databases in DATABASES and have a router to point to the right one? Should I template my settings.py at a higher level?

in Django, each request gets its own thread or process?

ofek: that's not django's convern; depends on the wsgi server.

concern*

Wooble, do objects persist between requests? like the wsgi server would only load app once right?

Hi, I use this Javascript function for asynchronous pagination in my template. Do you have any idea how I could use translation for the selected lines ? https://dpaste.de/DfXX#L22,23

In general, is there any hope to make strings generated by javascript translated by Django ?

@ofek No, they are scoped to the request IIRC

@omarek I don't see how that's possible, unless you're doing some kind of AJAX request to Django to handle that.

foresmac-work, I guess my ultimate question is can memory be shared between requests?

omarek It's possible, but you shouldn't rely on that.

foresmac-work: As a matter of fact I'm doing an Ajax request in Django for pagination. Hopefully it's the last time I do that (way more complicated than I expected).

Writing part of page in Javascript made me appeciate Django.

...maybe I could pass the translated snippet as data-translated-string

Hey, Im trying to save a form where i want some values to be set programaticaly, either to the form or on the actual model it uses to save to the database before save. Im wondering where the best place to do this is. Currently i set the data in the form_valid() function in the view. I understood this can also be done with middleware, is any method more/less valid? Or should i do it some other way?

You'll want to use the `clean()` method on your form to do that generally

luffervante and/or use defaults for certain fields?

foresmac-work: i use the default (or whatever 'auto_now_add=True' counts as) for the timestamp in the model, ill check out clean, thanks!
