Engineer(s): Jib, Alex 2024-11-22 Known risks or blockers: Still awaiting to reclaim django-mongodb package name We've placed a poll in #dbx-python to help determine backup name. These are the two strongest contenders  django-mongodb-backend django-pymongo Completed over the last 2 weeks: Finished Scope Document for Django for Public Preview "Escape Hatch" functionality tested and checked in Implemented support for partial indexes Various bug fixes and improvements Embedded Document work Finished querying; working on indexing & migration support Focus over the next 2 weeks Finish Embedded Document work Start Array scope document Create benchmarking repository for functions outside of JOIN operations Run on M30 dev/qa cluster Anything else to share? Found clunky implementation on connecting to an Atlas cluster via settings. PR tracking work to fix here     Engineer(s): Jib, Alex 2024-11-08 Known risks or blockers: Still awaiting to reclaim the django-mongodb package name Completed over the last 2 weeks: Formalized decision to do keep the JOIN logic. Prepped several items to make django-mongodb SSDLC compliant. repo now runs CI in evergreen as well Finished design document for Embedded Document implementation (for complex query cases) Triaged and running every triaged python test suite Focus over the next 2 weeks Enable our "escape hatch" functionality using QuerySet.raw_mql Merging Embedded Document and List MongoDB field abstractions Working on querying  Anything else to share? We've learned that the "escape hatch" functionality will have limitations. If any operation mutates the resulting model, it will fail to build a query set. This is behavior that also happens in the SQL analogue. The solution for users that want to use something like vectorSearch for this solution would be using the underlying PyMongo client.    Engineer(s): Jib, Alex 2024-10-25 What was completed over the last two weeks? Created technical document to highlight and facilitate the conversation around JOIN vs embedded (timeline for decision is by EOW Nov 8) Ran benchmarks comparing performance of public preview on varied document sizes Various test fixes and performance improvements Improved JOIN function comparison Fixed test regressions Added custom tests for Django-MongoDB specific items What's the focus over the next two weeks? Enable our "escape hatch" functionality using QuerySet.raw_mql Merging Embedded Document and List MongoDB field abstractions Impediments encountered over the last two weeks? Initial benchmarking tool gave invalid data. Delayed results and required making a net-new benchmarker.
