🔗 Why we started building on the Django 6.1 alpha

Divio chose to adopt the Django 6.1 alpha long before its official release to actively contribute to its development. This decision was driven by their commitment to the Django community and the compelling new features Django 6.1 promised, such as database-level delete options and enhancements in the admin interface. By testing the pre-release daily, they not only utilized its advancements but also identified and reported several bugs, aiding the refinement of the framework. Their hands-on approach ensured they were at the forefront of developments and equipped them with insights into the new functionalities. As a result, Divio can now encourage others to explore Django 6.1, showcasing the readiness and potential of the framework for production use.
