Migrate from Phoenix to Django #483
Comments
The above will be implemented as a pull request into this repo to retain all of the previous issues and work that has been added to this repo |
Moved to here: mindwaveventures/good-thinking#50 |
@Shouston3 we still need to capture the reason why we are migrating to only using Wagtail/Django/Python instead of Phoenix/Elixir/Erlang. |
@nelsonic Wasn't this fully covered during the call on Thursday? There were a number of relevant comments including your recommendation that based on currently understood project spec (and foreseeable project spec), the Phoenix layer wouldn't add any value to the project and would detract from it (net effect). |
@reddog we prefer to have decisions precisely recorded rather than made verbally; much easier to send a link to a stakeholder with supporting detail for a decision than to attempt to re-count a telephone conversation. 👍 |
@nelsonic Thanks for adding that clarity. To help us get to closely recording the advice you gave, would you be able to summarise that and then the product owner could confirm or otherwise? Our listing down your comments would already be second hand. |
I think it would be best if @ellemindwave, as the product owner, first explains why the proposed change in technology was put forward by the MV team. Then @nelsonic can fill in any gaps with his technical perspective as he did when we discussed the proposal on the call. |
@Cleop From my recollection of the group meeting, I don't think that the MV team did propose the change in technology. A query was raised to understand better why the current technology architecture is in place and if that is the best way to continue. @nelsonic then replied from a technical architecture perspective - I think that's what we're waiting for a summary of. |
@reddog there appears to be a misunderstanding / misinterpretation somewhere ... 😕 My "advice" is to listen to the Product Owner who rightly pointed out
The last thing we (@dwyl) want is our clients/projects being dependent on us, When I proposed the initial architecture, please see: The requirement was for "peer-to-peer" user interaction, i.e. users (suffering with sleep-related mental health issues) would be able to interact with and help each other with some moderation but with the aim of helping each other find ways to overcome their sleep issues.
In light of the change in requirements (away from having a "peer-to-peer" application) -
I followed up with a question: What will differentiate LDMW from other Content-based Websites?
If we use an existing CMS and simply add content, how long will it take to have enough original content to start ranking for the specific keywords in order to get organic traffic to the site? To be clear, I'm not against removing Phoenix (especially if it's causing a "bottleneck" in content creation/publishing; that was never the intention) |

User-Generated Content is way more scalable (and thus successful) than single-source content.

@nelsonic Misunderstanding or not (I'll try harder on that front), thanks very much for your replies - I'm certain I wouldn't have captured your input quite as precisely as that. |
We will from now on be working from issues on the cms repository: https:/LDMW/cms Closing this issue in favour of mindwaveventures/good-thinking#50 to avoid duplicate issues |
Overall high level plan:
(we will add to this list as tasks come up)
