Django Tarantool database backend

⚠️ Fork Notice

This package is a fork of django-tarantool by @artembo.

Changes in this fork:

• Django 5.0+ support

Installation

Install Tarantool v2.2+. See the installation manual for your OS here

Make a database directory and run Tarantool instance there:

$ mkdir ~/project_db
$ cd ~/project_db
$ tarantool

You will see the Tarantool interpreter. Initialize DB configuration and create password for admin

tarantool> box.cfg({ listen = 3301 })
tarantool> box.schema.user.passwd('admin', 'password')

To get started with django-tarantool, run the following in a virtual environment:

pip install django-tarantool

Add DATABASES config of your Tarantool into settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django_tarantool.backend',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': '3301',
        'USER': 'admin',
        'PASSWORD': 'password',
        'CONN_MAX_AGE': 3600,
    }
}

Mind using CONN_MAX_AGE param as very important. It allows to keep connection opened for the specified time in seconds. Otherwise, Django will open the connection to the Tarantool instance on each request and close after it, which increases the request latency.

Run migrate as usual:

python manage.py migrate

Run Django development server:

python manage.py runserver 0:8000
