Django Development in St Albans
Building with Django for St Albans organisations, where migrations are code you deploy and are treated as an afterthought. They carry your schema history, they run against production, and two developers working on separate branches will produce conflicting ones — which is discovered at deployment rather than at merge.
Why this comes up
The problem
Two branches each added a migration, both merged cleanly, and the deployment fails because they conflict.
What you get
What we deliver
- Migrations reviewed like any other code, since they run against production data
- Conflicting migrations detected in the pipeline rather than at deployment
- Schema changes separated from data changes, which have different failure modes
- Long-running migrations planned so they do not lock tables during business hours
- Reversibility considered, with a stated position where it is not achievable
- Query counts watched, as related-object access generates queries invisibly

Django Development in St Albans — common questions
- Why do migration conflicts reach deployment?
- Because they merge without complaint. Two files each claiming the same predecessor are valid on their own, and the inconsistency only appears when the framework tries to order them — which happens when you deploy rather than when you merge.
- How do we catch them earlier?
- Check for conflicts in the pipeline. It is a single command that fails the build when the migration graph has diverged, and adding it converts a deployment failure into a merge-time one that whoever created it can resolve immediately.
- What about migrations on large tables?
- They need planning. An operation that rewrites or locks a large table can hold it long enough to stop the application, so those changes belong in a maintenance window or in a staged approach that avoids the lock entirely.
- Should every migration be reversible?
- Where it can be, since a failed deployment is easier to recover. Some genuinely cannot — dropping a column loses data — and the important thing is knowing which ones those are before you need to roll one back.
- Do you work with businesses across Hertfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including St Albans and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Albans businesses do you usually work with?
- Professional services and consultancy systems for small firms serving London clients from a Hertfordshire base. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Financial Services, Media, Retail and Construction.
- Do you cover the areas around St Albans?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including London, Milton Keynes, Cambridge. St Albans is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hertfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
