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.

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.

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.
@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.

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
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 😅
Django ORM Kung Fu - Postgtes can do a lot more in the ORM than you might think and being a Bass player in a Jazz band might help understand those techniques better. At least Mathias Wedeken said in his talk at #DjangoCon
Tricks used: Composing annotations like functions, Func(template=), ...
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)

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.
