The promised Django Land; the tale of one team’s epic journey...
summary
Team migrates an API from Flask to Django, builds a Django repo during hack week, forms a stewardship group, and lands 90% done in a two‑week sprint by two engineers; routing ends up as Django proxying to Flask over the network, shared DB with fake migrations, and auth via JSON web tokens until a full solution arrives after about two years to stabilize authentication. Outcomes: working Django API, lots of docs, a temple Django project template, and persistent migration and dev‑env complexity.
