Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
Just ran into an issue on my website where my session data got so large, making requests while logged in was hitting the memory limit on my server and crashing my site š¬
I did a little Django proof-of-concept on the fat posts with just Note and Article post types. I wanted to be sure I could have type-specific admin pages before doing the big lift on my site architecture. The key seems to be using proxy models.
On any web project, I think itās worth having a checklist of The Invisiblesāthings that arenāt displayed directly in the browser, but that can make a big difference to the user experience.
Some examples:
Turns out my recent upgrade to Django 5.2 was not, in fact, āwithout issue.ā I had to patch a problem saving images with stored dimensions with django-resized.
I have still been thinking about this āfat postsā architectural change and have audited the fields across all the post types on my website.
