django-db-queue VS django-ninja

I love the simplicity of this idea because for lots of sites the database works just fine as a queue backend and it reduces the amount of infrastructure needed. I currently use https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for devmarks.io which also uses the database to store tasks instead of a dedicated queue infrastructure. `Django Q` also has an option to use the database, but I haven't tested it at all: https://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#orm. And if you are already running `redis` for your site, https://github.com/rq/django-rq is another option.

The one benefit of this package is that it is async-first which will be beneficial as Django continually adds in more async capabilities. Nice work! I'm looking forward to trying this out and seeing how it works!

https://github.com/rq/django-rq if you already have redis available or https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for something even simpler. I’ve used both and vastly prefer them over celery.

Check out https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for example.

django-db-queue: queue without needing redis, celery, etc.

Django Ninja [1], it forever changed how I write Django project, in a way so elegant and productive.

Django Ninja is a RESTful wrapper for Django, while UtilMeta Python Framework uses a more concise declarative ORM Schema for Django and other future-supporting ORMs like sqlachemy and Peewee to build RESTful APIs more efficiently, and supports not only Django but all Python mainstream frameworks like Django, Flask, Starlette, FastAPI, Sanic, Tornado, etc.

I can't recommend [django-ninja](https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja) enough. It's an easy to use, extremely fast, typed API for django. I've found it to be better in almost all aspects when compared to djangorestframework.

It's gaining popularity but is still widely unknown.

This is not a bad thing. Using Django as an API backend is amazingly fast in terms of development time, especially with modern frameworks such as django-ninja [1].

Just use the built-in ORM to create models, write your endpoints, and use the built-in admin interface to play with the database if you don't have endpoints for everything.

There is also a less known feature of Django called admindocs [2], which automatically generates a human readable, hyperlinked documentation for your models and relations between them.

Personally, I also prefer django-ninja to DRF.

Actually that's not fully true. If you mix async and sync codes in django-ninja there will be some errors. Where's the proof ? django-ninja doesn't support async auth

Also recommend Django-Ninja. It basically reimplements fastapi's type and decorator-based API construction, but embedded directly in django so you have access to django's ORM and middleware library.
