Very advanced database stuff for very big tables - @timb07 talked about database partitioning and especially applying partitioning to an already existing database. The screenshot shows one of the queries needed to perform the migration. #DjangoCon
Very interesting talk about packaging and shipping your Django App to run in a Desktop Context through Electron by @jochen - It's apparently not that different from running on the web and since there's only one user at a time, it needs way less resources.
#DjangoCon#electron
Another talk about what AI does to Open Source projects (there will be more positive AI talks later in the conference). Here @paulox shows examples of how maintainers feel about AI and what rules they set in their projects.
#DjangoCon
Just finished a great talk by Haki Benita where he proposed reliable signals - basically a signal whose only job is triggering a Task.
The example used in the talk (a payment flow) is pretty much the textbook example of why the Django Docs warn to not mistake signals for loose coupling #DjangoCon.
Kickoff for #DjangoCon #Europe 2026 in Athens by @carltongibson.bsky.social
Carlton talks about the landscape of type hinting in Python and Django.
The second part of the keynote then introduced Django mantle a type safe wrapper for Django ORM.
Hadn't heard of it before - def gonna try it out
@markush presenting @djangoconeurope in Athens.
In his talk he showed some interesting statistics about how security issues have evolved in Django and how the process goes from a user reporting an issue to the Django security team triaging and handling them.

For anyone not in the #DjangoCon Chat - you should absolutely check out the blog by Reinout van Rees - https://reinout.vanrees.org/weblog/index.html
He's doing really comprehensive summaries of all the talks he's visited and keeps documenting them for posterity.
And plugging his vacation photos 😅
In the 2nd Talk of the day - Andrew Northall taked about Caving (he really does that for fun!?) and how he collects and analyzes accident reports into structured data. One problem was the specificity of Data - he solved that by adding Treebeard to have a hierarchy of data that can be searched.
Kickoff for Thursday at #DjangoCon#Europe. 🇬🇷 - @Marlene gives a beginner friendly Intro to Agentic Coding and shows how to have AI generate your Playwright Tests or Diagrams in Excakidraw. For advanced users the small example using the Copilot SDK should be very interesting I think.
I'm planning to do a lightning ⚡ talk tonight - To JWT or not to JWT - why JSON Web Tokens might not be the one size that fits all (in my opinion)
