I'd read about multi-db support, even looked at the examples, but I hadn't really applied it to my own projects (how can this help me solve my problems?) until after reading through this highlight. It finally occurred to me how I could start using it right now to make my life easier. I can't wait to see what else Django Advent has to offer in the coming days!
exciting. more options to scale django apps without google app engine. all it needs now is a mascot with magical powers...
