Django & Python application maintenance · Amsterdam
YOUR PRODUCT
RUNS.
Monitoring, updates, and security — so it keeps working the way your business depends on.
Most founders don’t think about maintenance until something breaks. We handle it before you notice anything is wrong. Maintenance is not an afterthought. It is part of the same monthly commitment.
Schedule a callProblems rarely arrive all at once.
Applications don’t usually fail in one dramatic moment. They degrade slowly: an outdated library, an unpatched vulnerability, a query that used to be fast and no longer is. With Django applications, the pace of framework releases means there is always something to stay current on — and the cost of falling behind compounds quietly.
None of these are major problems when caught early. All of them become expensive when they aren’t.
The other risk is external. Security threats are increasingly automated. If your application has an unpatched issue and nobody is watching, someone else may have already noticed.
Django & Python maintenance services
Django & Python maintenance servicesWe keep the product healthy before it becomes your problem.
Monitoring
We use Sentry for real-time error tracking. When something goes wrong, we know before you do. Uptime monitoring runs continuously. You get a team that notices — not one that waits for your message.
Security Updates
We patch Django security vulnerabilities when they are released, not when clients ask. CVEs are tracked, tested against your specific setup, and deployed without drama.
Dependency Management
Every Python package in your project is a potential liability if left unattended. We review, update, and test dependencies as part of the monthly rhythm — so technical debt does not quietly accumulate while you focus on the business.
Performance
Slow queries, memory pressure, and API bottlenecks rarely announce themselves. We monitor response times actively and investigate degradation as soon as it appears — before your users notice or your costs spike.
Django Version Upgrades
Every unsupported Django version is a security liability. We manage version upgrades as part of the monthly commitment — scoped, tested, and deployed without disrupting your operations. You stay on a supported release without a separate project to manage.
The same team who built it, or took the time to learn it properly.
Maintenance done by people who don’t know the codebase is slower and riskier. We don’t hand this off to a generic support pool. The same person who reviewed the last feature is the one who patches the CVE. That is not how most agencies handle maintenance. It is how DWS does.
Maintaining Inboxroad’s Django platform since 2017 \u2192Nearly a decade of monitoring, security patches, and Django version upgrades — on a product that processes millions of email events each month. When Inboxroad needed reliability, they did not need a new team. They needed the team that already knew the system.
AI speeds up the detection. The team still owns the fix.
DWS uses AI throughout the maintenance cycle — scanning for anomalies, reviewing dependency changes at scale, and flagging security patterns faster than manual review allows. We have been using AI since GPT-3. We know what it is good at and what still needs a human with years of production experience behind it.
In maintenance work, the detection is faster now. The response still requires judgement. An AI tool can flag a suspicious query pattern. It cannot tell you whether the pattern is the start of an attack or an expected spike from a new feature. That is still the team’s call. That is still what you are paying for.
This works in two situations.
Existing DWS Clients
Maintenance is embedded in the Product Partnership. There is no separate negotiation, no surprise line items. The same team that built the feature is the one keeping it running.
Products Built Elsewhere
We start with a codebase review — what is there, what the risk profile looks like, and what a reasonable monthly scope covers. Then we agree on a rate and begin. This is a standard engagement for us.
Security matters more when your product matters.
DWS is based in Amsterdam and operates under Dutch and EU law. We handle client data and system access under GDPR requirements — not as a compliance exercise, but as a baseline expectation for any team with access to production systems.
We use Sentry for error tracking across client projects, monitor uptime continuously, and track CVE releases for every major dependency in the stack. Security patching happens when the CVE is released — not when the client asks about it.
We are working toward ISO 27001 certification. If security compliance matters for your procurement process, we are happy to discuss the specifics on a call.
If your product is live and you’re not sure who’s watching it, let’s talk.
The fastest way to find out if DWS is the right fit for your maintenance needs is a 30-minute call. No pitch — just an honest look at your current setup and what it would take to keep it running well.
