May be Rust can speed Django projects ?

I was trying to plugin pyo3 build Rust '.so' files(dynamic libraries) to Django. Looks like its not that difficult, we can copy and paste the file to Django folder. Once the file avaliable in Django folder , it will allow us to import the Rust dynamic library functions to your Django views.

Step1: create the Rust program as library using pyo3 and build the file using cargo build. Remember to put the crate-type "cdylib". I used manual build and copy .so file . Remember to keep the python module name and .so file name as same. https://pyo3.rs/v0.15.1/

Step2 Create your normal Django helloworld App

Step3 Copy the .so file to your Django project folder and import it in your views.py file, then you should be able to run django server .

Benchmark HTTP Latency with wrk

 

Recently I started reading through Actix-web, Django,tokio etc, so thought of bench marking the latency. Started with Django as it is pretty easy get started and its in python.

 

looks like wrk ( https://github.com/wg/wrk )  is a good tool to start with. 

"wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue."

Installation also pretty easy in Ubuntu:

1. sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev git -y

2. git clone https://github.com/wg/wrk.git wrk

3. cd wrk/

4. sudo make

5. sudo cp wrk /usr/local/bin

Run your Django server using 

python manage.py runserver

 

then another terminal you can run your wrk as below

 

wrk -t12 -c400 -d30s --latency http://127.0.0.1:8000

 I only had single page and not much custom files in the Django and not data base request. Not sure this is a good response .. Please share your comments.

 Also got something like this Django logs as well.

[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196
[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196
Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 33856)
[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196
[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196

I am planning to try this same experiment with actix-web and Rust , will share once I have something..

 

Django with Angular js

This is very nice document http://django-angular.readthedocs.io/en/latest/angular-model-form.html ,one django learner should practice to get confidence on his/er django web development skills. I am sure the document gives you good learning experience in web development .

What is Django ?

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of much of the hassle of Web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It’s free and open source https://www.djangoproject.com/
What is Angularjs?

AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and succinctly.

GeoDjango opens new opportunities for free and low cost geo application

Since google map matrix has pricing plans, web developers are started thinking of an alternative. I guess, you can use https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/10.2708/76.3780 as an alternative since lot of companies and institutions are contributing for it.

Its quite interesting and innovative idea that Django ( python webdevelopment framework) is coming up with module for geographic web application GeoDjango. GeoDjango is an included contrib module for Django that turns it into a world-class geographic Web framework. GeoDjango strives to make it as simple as possible to create geographic Web applications, like location-based services. Its features include:


Django model fields for OGC geometries and raster data.
Extensions to Django’s ORM for querying and manipulating spatial data.
Loosely-coupled, high-level Python interfaces for GIS geometry and raster operations and data manipulation in different formats.
Editing geometry fields from the admin.
