Love your Django app,
but your Django app
needs love?
Let us take it from here.
We rescue, upgrade, and maintain Django applications so your business can keep moving.
Unlike other software development teams, we specialize in taking over Django and Python projects. If you want your Django app to be modernized, stable, and supported, we’re here to support you.
Transparent Communication
We explain risks, tradeoffs, and options in plain business terms. Progress is visible and predictable.
Business-Centric Improvements
We start by understanding your business logic, not just your code. Fixes and improvements align with real-world use.
Stabilization Before Innovation
We prioritize system reliability before adding new features, focusing on creating a healthy technology infrastructure.
Senior Django Experts
Your project is led by Django engineers skilled in inheriting legacy systems and discussing practical tradeoffs.
Do you need better Django support?
Eclipse Consulting is a perfect fit if:
- Your Django app is critical to operations (orders, scheduling, customer portal, internal tools).
- You’re on Django 5.1 or older and want a clear path to a supported version.
- Your original developer left and no one wants to touch the code.
- You’re a small IT team that needs extra hands and deep Django experience for a project.
- You want a practical, business-friendly partner.
If that sounds like you, let’s create an easier and more secure technical experience for your employees and customers.
How the process works
Rapid health check
(fixed-fee assessment)
Start with a focused review of your application and environment
- Current Django & Python versions
- Dependency and security status
- Hosting, backups, and monitoring
- Code quality and obvious risk areas
You get a straightforward report and a prioritized upgrade plan – in plain English, not just developer jargon.
Stabilize & secure
Before pushing new features, we:
- Address critical bugs affecting uptime and data integrity
- Implement basic security best practices (patching, access control, backups)
- Put monitoring and logging in place so there are fewer suprises
Our goal: your team can sleep at night while we work on the version upgrade.
Upgrade & Modernize
We then execute the upgrade plan:
- Stepwise Django upgrades (if you’re several versions behind)
- Deprecation cleanup and library updates
- Automated tests where they’ll give you the most confidence
- Adjustments for Django 6.0 features and breaking changes where needed
You choose the stopping point: 5.2 LTS for long-term stability, or 6.0 for the latest features.
Ongoing support
(optional, flexible)
We don’t lock you into a big monthly contract. Use us for:
- Periodic maintenance and security patching
- Small improvements and new features
- Staff augmentation during busy season
Common scenarios we help with
- “Our customer portal is on Django 2.x and vendors are refusing to integrate with it.”
- “We got a security scan report and don’t know where to start.”
- “We’d like to upgrade to Django 6.0 but we’re afraid we’ll break everything.”
- “We just need someone we can call when something breaks.”
If you recognize yourself in any of these, you don’t have to start over – you just need the right help.
Why this matters right now
Django 6.0 is here. Older versions are being left behind.
- Django 6.0 is now the latest official release
- Django 5.1 just reached the end of extended security support – meaning no more official security fixes
- Django’s own guidance for library authors is to drop support for versions prior to 5.2 after the 6.0 release
If your app is running on Django 5.1, 5.0, 4.x, or older, you’re likely:
- Missing security patches
- fighting incompatibilites with modern python versions
- Watching third-party packages quietly stop supporting your version
We help you stabilize, upgrade, and future-proof your Django application – without putting your business on pause.
What you’ll walk away with
Even from an initial engagement, you’ll have:
- A clear picture of what version you’re on and what risks you’re carrying
- A practical, phased upgrade roadmap
- Fixed critical issues that were keeping your team up at night
- A trusted partner you can call when the next update or integration request comes along
What we do for Django / Python teams
We take over Django projects other developers don’t want.
Whether your app was built in-house, by a freelancer, or an agency that’s moved on, we’re comfortable stepping into “real-world” codebases:
- Django version upgrades (e.g., 2.x / 3.x / 4.x → 5.2 LTS or 6.0)
- Python runtime upgrades to match current Django support
- Security hardening & patching (auth, permissions, CSP, HTTPS, backups, monitoring)
- Refactoring & performance tuning for slow, fragile, or memory-hungry pages
- Bug fixing & small enhancements your team doesn’t have time for
- Integration work (APIs, payment gateways, reporting, ERP/CRM integrations)
We work as an extension of your team – or as your on-call “Django department” for a critical internal app.
Why work with Eclipse Consulting?
Business-first, not buzzword-first
We’ve supported Metro Detroit businesses for over two decades, and now work with clients across the country. Our job is to keep your systems running smoothly so your people can do their jobs – not to sell you a shiny new rewrite you don’t need.
Right-sized engagements
- No fixed monthly retainer required
- We’re happy to start small: fix a pain point, complete an assessment, or handle one part of the upgrade
- Clear estimates and communication at each step
Real-world tech stack familiarity
We don’t just “know Django” in isolation. Our team regularly works with:
- Django & Python web apps
- AWS, Azure, and traditional hosting environments
- SQL databases like PostgreSQL and SQL Server
- Integrations with line-of-business systems and third-party services
If your Django app touches “the rest of your business,” we can usually speak both languages: technical and operational.
Don’t wait for the next security bulletin to force your hand.
Your Django app is too important to run on borrowed time.
We’ll review your situation, outline your options, and help you choose the most sensible path forward – whether that’s staying on LTS, moving to Django 6.0, or just stabilizing what you have.
Ecliplse Consulting is based in Metro Detroit and supports clients nationwide with remote Django/Python development services
