Not a technical reason: I've been using Django Ninja to medium/big app with lot of validation logic, and it was a delight. It was easy to start and integrates well with Django, but I'm moving away from it, not because I dislike it, I still like the approach and ergonomics. However, the project seems somewhat abandoned or at least struggling with updates (last release is in August 2024) and with lots of PRs staled. There are forks like django-shinobi https://github.com/pmdevita/django-shinobi that are moving forward and have releases

Right now I'm shifting to FastAPI + Django since much of my logic is already in Pydantic classes, and authentication is token based, so FastAPI mainly is a wrapper for my Django app. Still, it doesn't feel ideal. I would prefer to use django-shinobi, but when I first try to migrate to FastAPI I did it most of the hard stuff in a day

If you're considering options, I recommend giving django-shinobi a try. I hope it gains more traction and involves more maintainers.

Hi mariocesar

Django ninja creator here

The project is used in a lot of critical infrastructure so we are prasing more about stability and performance rather then newest featers

On the other hand we prise all fork and keep an eye on them on the features that seems interesting

BTW next relrase is planned by the end of this month

Cheers

Im really happy to hear from you and from Django Ninja!

First off, I just want to say how grateful I am for your work. I know how challenging it can be to maintain opensource projects, and I truly appreciate the effort

Wishing you all the best.

This is a bit unrelated, but something thats been on my mind, how are things for you with everything going on in Ukraine? I cant imagine how difficult it must be to deal with such situation while also staying active in open source
