django-devserver is a drop-in replacement for Django's built-in runserver management command, adding an extendable module system for real-time logging, SQL formatting, memory profiling, and line profiling. It also supports the Werkzeug interactive debugger, threaded or forked multi-process serving, and targeting arbitrary WSGI applications.

Use cases

• replace Django's runserver with a more capable development server
• see real-time SQL query and logging output while developing a Django app
• profile memory usage and line-by-line performance in development
• use the Werkzeug interactive debugger with Django
• run a threaded or multi-process dev server for a Django project
• serve a custom WSGI application during development

When to avoid

• you are on a modern Django version, since the project targets Django 1.3+ and has not been updated since 2020
• you need a production or staging server rather than a development tool
• you want actively maintained alternatives like django-extensions' runserver_plus
