Moving from AWS Loadbalancers to Nginx
We run a k8s cluster for our healthcare EMR application. At the time, we only had one public facing service, so we used a Kubernetes Service of Type LoadBalancer. resource "kubernetes_service" "django" { metadata { name = "django" namespace = kubernetes_namespace.app_namespace.metadata[0].name annotations = tomap( { "service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert" = var.django_acm_arn, "service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-por
Django Bulk Save - 2 Fast 2 Big
Continuing from Django Bulk Save, I wanted to test how would the copy_from function perform when I scale to over a million records.

You'd probably never encounter a scenario where you'd have to parse a mil

Imagine you ran an ice cream subscription service, and you had a lot of people on the payroll tasked with managing renewals for subscribers. Let's call them agents. You had an online portal for customers to manage/renew their subsc
Connecting Django to RDS via pgbouncer using IAM auth
Setting up the infra We primarily use a django backend with RDS postgres in a kubernetes cluster for production environments. We were trying to setup an environment which would be HIPAA compliant and secure as well, as well as keep complexity to a minimum in the backend layer. We decided to go with IAM authentication to connect to RDS for the django application. The tricky part was to figure out how we would add pgbouncer between RDS and django to manage connection pooling issues. We setup a
