Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

Ah, interesting! Thanks for tracking that down. In chat we basically discovered that the intercontinental latency and shoddy wifi connections were responsible for a lot of the confusion. Testing from a US-based fiber connection, we got results of ~40ms in both scenarios. ---

Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

Hm. This is the downside of cloud services - we cannot look under the hood. Since I think that since this is something we _want_ cached, and because it will make the function being executed shorter in length - it is a good code decision to make. Thank you for the idea! However, it looks like

Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

That certainly could have something to do with it - there isn't very much transparency about how API Gateway works. It's super new and pretty janky, TBQH. However, I think that the behavior describing is not what's expected - the caching seems to be for the assets of the whole environment, not

Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

As I suspected, moving setup() outside of the handler had a negligible effect - in fact the test showed a slight drop in performance. :( Testing from httping. From Berlin to US-East-1: Before: --- https://arb9clq9k9.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/unicode/json_example/ ping statistics ---

Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

Hey all! Let me clarify a few of the terms here and describe a bit how Django operates in this context. "Serverless" in this contexts means "without any permanent infrastructure". The server is created _after_ the request comes in, and it dies once the response is returned. The means that we

Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

@Aymeric > In my opinion, the first concrete step would be to measure how much time is spent executing Django code rather than importing Python modules. You can find a complete profile of a Django request as it goes through the complete request/response loop here:

Re: Improving django.setup() and app loading performance

That might be true in theory.. but in practice? Do any of the core/contrib/top100 apps actually depend on loading orders? I've never encountered that problem before, but I don't know. It seems like we could easily get a 10x performance improvement by doing this in parallel by default, and have

(Originally posted this as a ticket, but we can have discussion here and leave the ticket for just more specific discussion.) I imagine that this is an area that hasn't really been given much consideration with regards to optimization, because it

Re: Sane defaults for Startapp and Startproject

How would you guys feel about a manage.py startexample which would create an example application? A simple, templated hello world with an example model and an example view and an example template? R On Oct 20, 4:50 pm, Aymeric Augustin wrote: > On 20 oct.
