## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: configuration-management, caching
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, databases
- platform: python
- tags: django, dynamic-settings, redis, django-admin, live-settings
