# Host member portal with Django: tenant-scoped workspaces

## Summary  
Deploy a member portal built with Django on Ample using the multi-tenant relational data pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL. Verified on Django: a tenant column on every row and query, with a cross-tenant read returning nothing (tenant_isolation=ok). Not separately tested: your tenant model, membership and per-tenant authorization; treat the member portal-specific behavior as your application code.

## Representative Queries  
- Host member portal with Django: tenant-scoped workspaces  
- Where can I host Member portal built with Django?  
- I need an explicit tenant model and application-enforced tenant isolation tests.

## Resource Requirements  
- primitive:compute  
- primitive:postgres

## Infrastructure Requirements  
### Compute  
Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.

### Postgres  
Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.

## Framework  
Django

## Workload  
Member portal

## Release Status  
Published

## Support Status  
Verified

## Execution Status  
Ready

## Prerequisites  
- A Django project that builds and starts with the documented commands (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 at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)  
- An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read

## Workflow Steps  
1. **Build and start**  
   `pip install into .ample/python from requirements.txt, then waitress serving project.wsgi from run.py reading PORT on the python-3.12 template. The server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.`  
2. **Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL**  
   `The fixture's module implements multi-tenant relational data: a tenant column on every row and query, with a cross-tenant read returning nothing (tenant_isolation=ok). Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.`  
3. **Deploy**  
   `Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.`  
   `ample deploy . --name  --public --start "python3 run.py"`  
4. **Verify**  
   `Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/multi-tenant-relational-data) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read ample logs --kind build then --kind runtime.`  
   `ample logs --kind build`

## Success Checks  
- App responds on its public URL  
- Multi-tenant-relational-data self-test

## Limitations  
- Verified on the python-3.12 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Django major versions are not verified.  
- The member portal itself (your tenant model, membership and per-tenant authorization) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.  
- Apps auto-pause when idle and wake on the next request; always-on is an operator setting, not a plan feature.

## Cost Estimate  
- Currency: USD  
- Monthly Amount: 10.0  
- Authority: true  
- Basis: size prices from pricing.toml (loaded by the API) at build revision 1ac5595375130d45290090e82ed0f554ccd45405-dirty  
- Components:  
  - app server (size: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthlyAmount: 5.0)  
  - managed PostgreSQL database (size: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthlyAmount: 5.0)  
- Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle.
