Last talk of the first day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
Now listening to Tim Bell 🎤
As tables get extremely large, the abstraction starts to break down and performance issues show up… curious to see how partitioning helps in real-world cases 🙂
@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.

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.

After the DjangoCon Europe coffee break, back into the room for @jake ☕️
Django supports multiple database connections, but leaves it up to you to manage how to use them and which queries to send where… let’s dig into this 🙂
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
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.
First keynote of DjangoCon Europe 2026 just started 🎤
Really happy to see @carlton on stage opening with a talk about keeping Python dynamic while adding small “static islands” where they actually help, curious to see how this lands 🙂
Next talk just started at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🎤
Great to see @markush on stage talking about Django’s security process, from triaging and fixes to disclosure and releases, with a look at how AI might impact all of this… really curious about this one 👀
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
