🔗 Speeding up migrations when using Django Tenants, in prod and in tests

The slow nature of Django migrations can hinder production deployments, especially when using Django Tenants. With a growing platform and numerous tenants, Xelix found that running migrations could take excessive time. Mikuláš Poul introduces the django-tenants-smart-executor library, which optimizes how migrations are handled. It detects when there are no migrations to apply and skips the lengthy checks, drastically reducing migration times for both production and testing environments. Additionally, the library allows skipping irrelevant state migrations based on the schema, further enhancing efficiency. While suggesting best practices to streamline migration processes in a multi-tenant architecture, this article serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to improve their deployment speed and test setup when using Django Tenants.
