Paid Contributions for specific feature in Django

[Taylor]

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is the place to ask this question, so sorry in advance, but I am looking to pay for a feature request. I would like for someone to build a Django DB adapter for Snowflake DB. 

https://www.snowflake.com/

It would be happy if it was a part of Django core or a separate package. Either way, it would be 100% open source after completion. Is there any process for this type of thing? If there isn't, is there anyone on here interested in this type of work?

Best,

Taylor

Hi Taylor

FYI Disney have already made a snowflake backend - they were asking about open sourcing it in this thread: https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/po9dS-2h4lg/m/Qa8H2h_6AwAJ . You might want to get in touch with them.

Otherwise, if you wanted this developed, it would probably be as a third party package. There are a few people on this mailing list working on database backends who might be interested in the work. You can also post gigs on the forum and twitter.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Taylor,

As Adam said, it would be nice not to duplicate work that Disney's already done, but if I can help, I'm open to consulting and have written backends for CockroachDB (https://github.com/cockroachdb/django-cockroachdb) and Google Cloud Spanner (https://github.com/googleapis/python-spanner-django/). I still maintain the former and the latter has been turned over to Google.

(Incidentally, I'd rather reply privately but that option seems to be disabled for this group? "Reply to author" is greyed out and when I hover it says, "You do not have permissions to reply to author in this group." I'm not sure it was intentionally configured like that as I believe that option was available before Google Groups rolled out their latest interface.)

Thanks Adam for linking to that thread and thanks Tim for offering to write the backend. It would be great if we can open source what Disney has already done (to avoid duplicate work). I will continue the discussion over on that thread and see where it goes.
