Has your experience led you to identify any areas for improvement within Django and/or Python?
(enjoyed the post, and I like your philosophy of using simple widely available tools; I'm hopeful that any changes you're able to provide back will have a kind of community-benefit flywheel effect)
Honestly, not really. A lot of the core issues that we'd hit were solved years ago (eg. multiple DB's for a read replica, JSON in the DB). I think it's one of the big benefits of using standard "boring" tools, that they do most everything we need them to do. We're not anxiously waiting on a new release, we're happily using new features implemented 5 years ago when we need them.

Thanks - that's a good philosophy and position to be in :)
