If your application has any workflow to manage, django-workflows is great, but the documentation needs help.

My recommendation is Piston, although I am not sure how it would handle such large data sets.

As far as authorization on cached objects - and by this I assume you mean database instances, django only provides a very primitive (IMO) permissions system. For anything more complicated than that, you need to look at other systems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
