Hello,
I don't know what is the best approach for the communication between
two django applications.
We have a website using django and django-cms. We have another
application, the "seminar" app for managing some informations like
seminars, news, people profiles.... They have both their databases and
are on different server. Now we would like to take some information from
the "seminar" appli and show them on the website. My question is how to
retrieve the data from the seminar app. We are developping both
applications so we can do whatever we want but for now we would like to
keep them separated. To display the information on the website I was
thinking of using template tags to gather the information and send them
to the page and I see 3 different ways to do access the information.
1) consider the distant database as a simple database and perform
queries in SQL.
2) use the models.py file of the seminar app (or use inspectdb) and
use database router to gather the information from the distant database
mode.
3) make a REST api of the seminar application ( I have no idea how
to do that and perhaps it is not the correct approach)
My main concern is that I'm in charge of the website part but not the
seminar part and this one may evolve without me knowing it and so I'd
like to be resilient to a change in the seminar app that doesn't modify
the fields I'm using. I mean the seminar app may have other models but
normally the seminar part should not change.
May be my question is not clear but I would like to know if other people
have this kind of setup one django app feeding another one and how did
they solve this problem.
sincerely.
L.
