Unlike the typical Django implementations where Django is used solely as a view, through this all data is fetched via a custom client. Models are not used.
The server backend consists of a wsgi application that gets its data from backend services via RPC calls over rabbitMQ.
The service tier interacts with the database via sqlalchemy.
Database changes are managed using albemic database migrations.
Jenkins is used for CI and tests are run against python2.7 and python 3.4.
Jenkins is also used to deploy releases and to run functional tests.
Git is used for source control.
Code is written to the PEP-8 standard and custom rules are added as needed, Jenkins jobs exist for PEP8 as well.
Documentation is generated using sphynx from docstrings.
Other background documentation is maintained as .rst files and rendered into html
