I don’t really understand this, I was very much underwhelmed by the admin UI, and feel like I’m missing something? I mean what does it do other than list records and provide some basic forms to CUD those?

It feels like much of the value in that is achieved even better by using a proper database client, say, JetBrains‘ database integration. I certainly wouldn’t let any business people touch a Django admin panel, or at least those I’ve seen built by our data guys. Way too technical.

And don’t even get me started on extensibility. I wanted to have like, an additional page to include a Grafana iframe plus a bunch of buttons. Something that would take me about five lines in Laravel, for example. Good luck even searching the documentation for this…

It excels when you're iterating on an MVP. Once a business is proven and you have the money to go back and put in the the gold-plated solutions, sure, write your own. But while you're building the MVP it's amazing. No need to faff with building a separate admin, even if it is just CRUD.

It means you can focus on your business logic while buying time to get you through the initial development.
