What sort of classes do you mean? Views? Models? Other? For us it hasn't changed much. Our apps were pretty self-contained so that splitting them into separate services isn't very arduous. Stuff that is shared between apps is ofte

It depends on what you're building. For us, we haven't noticed any issues with latency just yet and there are plenty of steps you can take to optimise this down the line. As for monitoring there are plenty of tools to do that. You

Yes you're right it is slightly overstated. We still use our Django monolith to compensate for not re-writing every single part of our codebase. However overtime I would imagine we would move away from Django as with small enough servi

Perhaps the title was a tad flippant. You can use Django in a microservice architecture although if your services are small enough I would hazard to say that Django would be overkill for most implementations as it is not what it is designed

We actually use DRF. Although I actually find it overcomplicated for what it does.

I perhaps should have explained that a bit more. Technology choices have to make sense before implemented but giving developers the flexibility opens a lot of doors for creativity and exploration. I strongly believe that learning new langua

Correct, writing code does not make money. However this change is a little bit like starting a blog... You don't see the immediate benefits straight out but you'll realise them over time. You can put it off and put it off but the

Not worrying too much doesn't mean not worrying at all! We still have tools in place to ensure silly mistakes aren't made or are at least rectified quickly. Just we don't expect 100% test coverage on every single feature or f

True, but all these installed apps still increase the size of your one project which becomes larger and larger. You can't install it in parts, you can't make any architectural or language changes as it requires a rewrite of the wh

by tmwatson100 12y ago
We're lucky enough that we decided early enough for it not to be too big an issue. Also we split up the re-write over stages and haven't done it all in one go. I'm gonna write more about it in another blog post but essentiall

Hi Bowlofpetunias, Absolutely, this is the norm rather than the exception. However, asymmetric information only works as long as most parties in the market are acting in this way. As soon as people start being more open, this changed the la

Hi Nikanj, We think this is of enormous benefit to landlords: 1. Fill vacant space for which you are business rates (UK specific) 2. Be more visible in search for when companies are looking for space 3. Have visibility over the state of the

Absolutely agree. There are still plenty of companies out there who have the relevant covenants and ability to sign that 3 year lease. However, as the economy evolves and high growth companies companies become the norm the number of people

Hi Matt, Completely agree. At the end of the day markets depend upon supply and demand forces. The economic landscape looks much different to what it did 10 years ago. Smaller companies that need contract flexibility are springing up everyw

Cheers for the feedback, all valid. We've heard some of those things before and will definitely keep iterating on it! Appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Cheers! I'm the co-founder of Spacious. The company itself came out of months of talking to startups and this blog was the result of us finally having the time to articulate it.
