Learnt lessons in a big Django Project
summary
A two‑year Django roadmap rebuild handles 80,000 touristic cards and 500+ articles, done across 42 sprints with 600 user stories and ~1300 points. The team separates a stable API from changing frontends, isolates a map‑provider module so a provider swap needs minimal code changes, and enforces tests, pull requests and documentation‑first API design. Several internal libraries get open‑sourced; the product and integrations ship and evolve, and the practices reduce regressions and accelerate feature delivery.
