Any chance you could go a bit deeper on these issues?

I particularly don't understand the "complex front-end" part. What about django's templating system hinders implementing a rich javascript based UI?

I've been quite happy using the templating system to deliver data to the front end and then using whatever js libs / frameworks I've needed to display the data to the user....

He recently did write a blog post about his problems with Django: https://alexcbecker.net/blog.html

Reading the blog post the complaints on no Data Integrity seem to be a symptom of not using models/data store correctly. Problems not specific to Django or any other web framework.

1. Data races - Use a combination of model versioning and uniqueness checks to prevent data races.

2. get_or_create/update_or_create - Duh, the atomicity is enforced by the parameters you use. Create unique indexes on the model for the things you expect to use in your parameters

I'm not sure I understand the second point here, shouldn't whether a transaction is atomic be independent of indices and data parameters?
