ADR-001: Django
Status
Accepted
Context
The project requires a robust, well-supported web framework to accelerate development, ensure maintainability, and leverage community best practices. There are often multiple ways to implement features, either by using built-in framework capabilities or by integrating third-party solutions.
Decision
The project will prioritize features that are included in the Django web framework. If Django provides a feature, we will use Django’s implementation rather than building custom solutions or integrating external packages.
Alternatives Considered
Using third-party packages for features that Django already provides.
Building custom implementations for common web application needs.
Consequences
Positive: - Faster development by leveraging Django’s built-in features. - Improved maintainability and consistency across the codebase. - Benefit from Django’s security updates and community support. - Reduced risk of dependency conflicts and maintenance overhead.
Negative: - May have to adapt project requirements to fit Django’s conventions. - Some Django features may not be as flexible or feature-rich as third-party alternatives.
