django-constance is a Django app for storing dynamic, runtime-editable settings in pluggable backends such as Redis or the Django database. It integrates with the Django admin so settings can be changed live without redeploying the application.

Use cases

• change feature flags or settings at runtime without redeploying Django
• store editable application configuration in Redis or the database
• manage live settings through the Django admin interface
• share configuration across multiple Django workers or instances
• override hardcoded settings.py values with database-backed values

When to choose

• you run Django and need settings editable at runtime via the admin
• you want pluggable backends (Redis, database) for application configuration
• you need configuration shared consistently across multiple app instances

When to avoid

• your settings never change after deployment (plain settings.py suffices)
• you are not using Django
• you need distributed feature-flag tooling with targeting rules rather than simple key-value settings
