Quick example

# myapp/sysconfig.py
from django_sysconfig.registry import register_config, Section, Field
from django_sysconfig.frontend_models import BooleanFrontendModel, IntegerFrontendModel
from django_sysconfig.validators import RangeValidator

@register_config("myapp")
class MyAppConfig:
    class General(Section):
        label = "General"

        maintenance_mode = Field(BooleanFrontendModel, label="Maintenance Mode", default=False)
        max_items = Field(IntegerFrontendModel, label="Max Items", default=100,
                          validators=[RangeValidator(min_value=1, max_value=10_000)])

# anywhere in your project
from django_sysconfig.accessor import config

if config.get("myapp.general.maintenance_mode"):
    return HttpResponse("Down for maintenance.", status=503)

Staff can toggle maintenance_mode at /admin/config/ — no code change, no redeploy.
