As the data volume exploded, the system responded very slowly. We carried out a series of optimizations on the application, and the system’s response time improved by an order of magnitude. Overall, optimizations in file compression and faster network access gave a noticeable boost to frontend performance, while optimizations in stored procedures, caching, and logic code gave a noticeable boost to backend performance.

Compiled from the “Development Tips” series, collecting common problems and solutions in Python and Django development. 1. Sorting Python Iterables Iterable objects fall into 3 main categories: All sequence types, such as list, str, and tuple Some non-sequence types, such as dict and file Objects that contain an __iter__() or

1. Basic Concepts Symmetric encryption: Symmetric encryption is an encryption method that uses a single-key cryptosystem, in which the same key is used both to encrypt and to decrypt the information. Because it is fast, it is often used to encrypt the transmission of large amounts of data. DES (Data

1. Basic Concepts Django ships with a signal dispatcher built in. Signals help decouple program modules. When an event occurs elsewhere in the application, a designated function is notified. Signals let certain senders notify a group of receivers that some action has taken place. 2. Using Signals 2.1 Declaring a

Django has two kinds of views: function-based views and class-based views. The role of a view is mainly to fill in logic and return a response body. Function-based views are hard to extend and have a low rate of code reuse. Class-based views, on the other hand, can use inheritance
