django-delete-guard (DeleteGuard)
Blocks dangerous Django ORM deletes in production — before they happen.
Backups and alerts are too late.
This stops risky QuerySet.delete() calls at execution time, unless the developer explicitly opts in.
Why this exists
If you’ve ever:
- wiped production with a bad
.delete() - underestimated cascade deletes
- run a “quick cleanup” script in prod
- trusted migrations too much
…this is for you.
Most catastrophic data loss is valid code with invalid intent.
Django makes bulk deletes deceptively easy. This guard makes them explicit.
What it does (V1)
In production only (APP_ENV=production|prod), it blocks:
-
❌ Unfiltered deletes
Model.objects.all().delete() -
❌ Bulk deletes over 100 rows
Unless you explicitly override with intent.
Everything else works normally.
