Finite State Machine (FSM) in Django
summary
Shows how to model real workflows in Django and actually ship them using django-fsm, with concrete examples (university program-change form and case-report review), guarded transitions that check permissions, a concurrent transition mixin to avoid race conditions, and automatic audit logging (fsm-log) plus graph generation from code (Graphviz) to validate diagrams with stakeholders; demonstrates admin integration and middleware for current-user attribution and reports that these pieces work together in production-style demos.
