OptaPlanner VS Directus

However, if you need to solve constraints etc., see: https://www.optaplanner.org/

Try looking for something built around Optaplanner - basically taking the end game of rostering and working backwards.

OptaPlanner takes some of the items tracked in tool like Odoo and creates plans based on them. I.E. how do you manage shifts while juggling multiple constraints (Jerry can only work weekends, Jeff can only work afternoons, Jim can work weekends but only on double time, etc.)

There is a library out there called Optaplanner that is designed for optimization of NP complete problems. It is hard to tell if that is exactly what this is, but I think you should be able to use this regardless.

OptaPlanner

I've never used it but it sounds like OptaPlanner may be a scheduler in the same vein?

As of April 2024, Directus' GitHub repository has accumulated 25.2k stars and 3.5k forks, showcasing its active community. The project has secured $8+ million in funding, further fueling its growth and development.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

The Backend to Build Anything or Everything | Directus

Along those lines, I’ve been happy with Directus as a backend for my little blog.

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

It depends on your skillsets, but I'd highly recommend https://directus.io/ especially if you need "slickness" to raise money otherwise try a pyhat stack if you hate javascript.

The admin is extremely unacceptable for anything beyond trivial borderline trivial use cases, and the modifications you'd have to make are just awful especially the more interactive something needs to be. The extremely tight integration between models and the modeladmin is a blessing and curse.

The people who like Django,also tend to overload it to do everything. This makes sense at small companies. The only place I really see Django at large companies is as an api using DRF or something.

For internal admins, I've been lobbying to use https://directus.io/ at my company.

I initially looked into CMS's like Strapi and Directus to possibly handle my admin UI + API all at once. I haven't found anything that looks like it can do this yet, but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong. I would prefer it to be based in .NET or Node.js since I am more familiar with those, but there's no reason I couldn't do PHP either.
