CockroachDB & Django

[Andy Woods]

Hello All! 

I'm a product manager at Cockroach Labs working on our SQL product area. CockroachDB leverages the Postgres wire protocol to provide distributed SQL to our customers. Because we support the same protocol as Postgres, we can often take advantage of the drivers, ORMs, and tools already created for Postgres with CockroachDB. 

Over the years we've seen community interest in making a CockroachDB specific implementation of Django. In fact, one of our engineers even went so far as to build a working prototype that passes the initial Django tutorial. 

We are now seeking help from experts in the Django community in advancing our prototype to the next level. We would happily welcome contributors to our open-source Django prototype. 

We'd also love any beta testers who would be willing to give our prototype a try and provide feedback to us.

If this is something you might be interested in, please let me know.

Thank you! 

Andy

Hi.

You should setup test environment that runs Django database tests against your backend. Preferably somewhere visible to public.

That way it would be easier to start figuring out areas of improvement.

Cockroach Labs engaged me to work on the CockroachDB backend for Django.

django-cockroachdb 2.2 alpha 2 (for Django 2.2.x) and 3.0 alpha 1 (for Django 3.0.x) are now available. These versions pass much of the Django test suite and are ready for real world testing.

Be aware that the latest release of CockroachDB, 19.2.1, has some bugs and limitations which are documented in django-cockroachdb's README. The CockroachDB team expects to address some of the bugs in the 19.2.2 release due out in the next several weeks.
