A standard Django project involves working with multiple files and folders from the start. Let's see how the work with a Django project changes when we have only one file. This solution automatically transforms Django into a microservice-oriented async framework with "batteries included” philosophy.
The history of the lightweight Django project isn't new.
I encountered a Django project consisting of only 2 files in 2019. At that time, the tiny Django project wasn't comparable to the capabilities of projects based on FASTAPI or FLASK.
But a year later, Django introduced ASGI, and by 2022, Django was ready for use in microservices.
The concept of creating micro-projects on Django reappeared within the Django community in the spring of 2023, and now we have a full-fledged technology for creating asynchronous microservices consisting of one or two files. It was named uDjango.
In this talk, I will share my experience in creating high-performance microservices on Django and how i can keep simplicity and minimalism in projects.
During the talk, I'll discuss the advantages of Django microservices:
- All-in-one package
- Standard architecture and syntax
- Extremely rapid development and deployment speed
After a year of work with uDjango, I have identified the challenges in creating Django microservices:
- The prevailing opinion that the 'Django framework isn't suitable for microservices'
- Django settings.py - cause of many problems.
- URL routing in Django that could be stricter
- Initialization time of forms and model objects reduces performance
The result of this Talk for the audience will be knowlege about mDjango, a ready-to-use technology for building synchronous and asynchronous microservices.

I start my career as a programmer specializing in embedded solutions in 1997, and grow to the role of Chief Technology Officer in 2023. Through many successful projects, I gained a robust understanding of various software development paradigms. After more than 10 years as a code mentor, I finally earned the title 'Super Mentor in Engineering' in December 2023.
