Keeping 85 Projects Alive — Professional Python & Django Development

What does professional Python and Django development actually look like when your agency is responsible for roughly 85 projects — some under active development, others in support mode, and a few that sit untouched for months before suddenly demanding attention?

Kees Hink takes us behind the scenes at an agency navigating exactly that challenge. He covers containers, CI pipelines, dependency management, type checking, automated testing, reusable project templates, internal tooling, and structured merge-request reviews. Through clear, simplified code examples, he shows how these practices help developers prevent regressions, share knowledge, and work confidently across unfamiliar codebases.

What to expect:

• A behind-the-scenes look at the often-overlooked challenge of maintaining dozens of Django projects at different stages of their lifecycle
• Practical lessons on how automation, standardisation, testing, and code review make software safer and easier to change
• An approachable, technically grounded session full of recognisable examples from everyday agency development

Whether you're an experienced Python or Django developer, part of a team responsible for multiple applications, or simply looking to sharpen how you build and maintain software — this talk hands you ideas you can put into practice right away. Because professional development isn't about finding the one perfect tool — it's about building a dependable workflow that keeps projects understandable, maintainable, and ready for whoever picks them up next.
