The package detects these blocking queries and either terminates them automatically (the default) or prints them for manual review. It also supports setting lock timeouts to cancel migrations that block too long.\n\nThe package integrates into Django's standard migrate command and requires adding three apps to INSTALLED_APPS. It works with Django 4.2\u20136.0, Python 3.10\u20133.14, and Postgres 14\u201318, making it compatible with modern Django deployments. The two runtime dependencies are django and django-pglock.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run Django on Postgres and want to reduce migration downtime. The package is straightforward to install, has no security vulnerabilities, and solves a real operational problem. The aging maintenance status is a minor concern but not a blocker\u2014the codebase is stable and compatible with current versions. Install it if migration locking is a pain point; skip it if you use other databases or have short, non-blocking migrations."},"id":"django-pgmigrate","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-pgmigrate","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-pgmigrate.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-pgmigrate/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-pgmigrate","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Avoid costly downtime during Postgres migrations."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":989583,"position":4566,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.0"}
