Membership associations: event registration using Django

Summary

A event registration blueprint for membership associations built with Django on Ample.
Domain schema:

• course_groups (chapter_or_program, start_at, end_at): chapters and programs as groups;
• memberships (course_group_id, member_email, tier, role, renewed_at): members and roles;
• sessions (course_group_id, starts_at, title, venue): meetings and events;
• materials (course_group_id, title, object_key, visibility): member resources;
• events (seq, record_type, record_id, kind, at): application-owned history written in the same transaction.

Public information: about, chapters and benefits, public events, join information.
Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: member directory details, dues, and payment records.
Member directories are personal data; only public events and member-authorized resources are modeled.
Technical basis verified on Django: an optimistic version check and an event row written in the same transaction, a stale update rejected, and a history query over the application-owned events (history=2 conflict=rejected).

Representative Queries

• Membership associations: event registration using Django
• Where can I host Membership associations: Event registration built with Django?
• I need a genuinely specialized event registration workflow covering membership tiers, event eligibility and shared resources.

Workflow Steps

1. Model the membership associations domain
   Create the tables course_groups, memberships, sessions, materials, events. Chapters and programs as groups lives in course_groups; keep the sensitive classes (member directory details, dues and payment records) out of this schema.
2. Model sessions with capacity and registrations with status.
3. Register transactionally with a capacity check and an event per registration.
4. Reject stale concurrent updates.
5. Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.
   Command: ample deploy . --name --public --start "python3 run.py" --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
6. Verify: Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/transactional-workflows) and your own acceptance checks for the membership associations workflow.
   Command: ample logs --kind build

Prerequisites

• A Django project (pip install into .ample/python from requirements.txt, then waitress serving project.wsgi from run.py reading PORT on the python-3.12 template)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL (auto-provisioned when omitted)
• Bucket credentials from ample bucket create passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
• A review of which membership associations data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

Limitations

• The technical basis (transactional workflows on Django) was verified with the pattern fixture; the membership associations schema and workflow are an original design for this blueprint and were not executed as a separate application.
• No health, financial, privacy or other compliance claim is made. Member directories are personal data; only public events and member-authorized resources are modeled.
• Public content and synthetic examples only until actual data-handling requirements have been reviewed.
• Verified on the python-3.12 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; region, request-duration limits and other sizes are unknown or unverified.
• Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified.
• PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; other S3 operations and CDN cache rules are not.
