psycopg2 VS Docker Swarm

You can practice both by using https://www.psycopg.org from your Python code to communicate with your database. When I wanted to practice some SQL, that's what I did (we use psycopg at work, so that's what I practiced with, making a dream journal thingy for myself that was better than just noting stuff in a notepad because I could then look up e.g. what other stuff was correlated with Y, how many times I dreamed of X, etc. etc.)

But seems like it should work with Django 3, which you have specified https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/1293

If you're using Postgres for your SQL, look at the "copy' method of the psycopg module (see https://www.psycopg.org/articles/2020/11/15/psycopg3-copy/) . It's much faster than INSERTs in my experience (YMMV).

Back when I used Psycopg2, there was no -binary package, so you'd get libpq set up similarly to pg-native. Docs say:

> The binary package is a practical choice for development and testing but in production it is advised to use the package built from sources.

I dunno, this seems worse to me.

Just go to the more easily readable docs here. I’m sorry, but the linked article is terrible.

psycopg2-binary. See https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/1286.

psycopg2-binary, PostgreSQL Database adapter for python.

... # psycopg2==2.9.3 # https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2 ...

I sometimes do this in testing. For example, consider the library used to communicate with a Postgres database, psycopg.

Docker - A containerization platform that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into containers. Docker Compose can be used to define multi-container application stacks, including web servers, databases, and other services. Features powerful portability and consistency, supports rapid building, sharing, and container management, suitable for complex application architectures, and requires a learning curve.

This article wanted to be a brief and gentle introduction to the container and docker world, there is a lot more to learn so don’t hesitate to check the docker documentation.

It appears they have since reverted the decision but it used to require logging in:

Docker Documentation

Docker is a tool that can help the developer to run each dependency in containers. Find more about Docker at Docker Official.

According to Docker Docs, a Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the instructions a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. These instructions include actions like installing software, copying files, setting environment variables, and defining how an application should run.

Hello reader, it's Sourab here. Recently in one of my projects I used Docker and Nginx for deploying a React App to a front-end server. Let's see how I did it.
