It works by caching file checksums to avoid re-uploading unchanged files, and optionally parallelizing uploads across multiple threads. The package integrates with django-storages to support S3, Google Cloud Storage, and local filesystem backends.\n\nYou install it, add it to INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.staticfiles, configure a storage backend and strategy, then run collectstatic as normal. Collectfast intercepts the command and applies its optimizations transparently. It requires Django and django-storages as runtime dependencies, plus typing-extensions for type hints.","worth_installing":"No. While Collectfast solves a real problem and has low install friction, the package is abandoned since 2022-04-21 with no maintenance. Django, django-storages, and cloud storage APIs have evolved significantly since then, creating a high risk of incompatibility or silent failures. For active projects, investigate current alternatives or file-upload optimization in modern django-storages versions before committing to this package."},"id":"collectfast","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/collectfast","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/collectfast.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/collectfast/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-06-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Collectfast","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Faster Collectstatic"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":370943,"position":7172,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
