A small Django utility that parses DATABASE_URL environment variables into Django database connection dictionaries. It supports 12factor-style configuration and optional connection pooling via conn_max_age.
Use cases
- configure django database from environment variable
- parse postgres database url in settings.py
- use 12factor config for django databases
- enable django connection pooling via url config
- swap database backends without editing settings
- provide default database url for local development
When to choose
- you deploy Django with environment-based configuration
- you want a single DATABASE_URL across staging and production
- you need quick connection pooling setup in Django
When to avoid
- you are not using Django
- you prefer explicit DATABASES dicts without env vars
