## The short version

A product catalog blueprint for home services built with Django on Ample. Domain schema: services (sku, name, category, price_from, duration_estimate): service catalog as SKUs; parts_stock (sku, delta, reason, moved_at): parts and consumables movements; jobs (job_no, service_area, status, scheduled_for): jobs as orders with status transitions; job_lines (job_no, sku, qty): services and parts on a job; events (seq, record_type, record_id, kind, at): application-owned history written in the same transaction. Public information: service catalog and pricing from, service areas and hours, licensing and insurance summary. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: customer addresses and access notes, payment details. Customer addresses and access instructions are personal data; keep them out until handling is reviewed. 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).

## What it needs

- [Compute](/content/discover/primitive/compute/index.html): verified (Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs; sizes are the priced VM sizes.)
- [Postgres](/content/discover/primitive/postgres/index.html): verified (Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.)
- [S3-compatible object storage](/content/discover/primitive/s3-compatible-object-storage/index.html): verified (Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.)

## Before you start

- 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 home services data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

## How to do it

1. 1
### Model the home services domain
Create the tables services, parts_stock, jobs, job_lines, events. Service catalog as skus lives in services; keep the sensitive classes (customer addresses and access notes, payment details) out of this schema.

2. 2
### Workflow step 1
Model the SKU catalog with versioned updates

3. 3
### Workflow step 2
Record every catalog change as an event in the same transaction

4. 4
### Workflow step 3
Reject stale concurrent updates

5. 5
### Workflow step 4
Deploy and verify history and conflict handling

6. 6
### Deploy
Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.

```
ample deploy . --name <app-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=...
```

7. 7
### Verify
Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/transactional-workflows) and your own acceptance checks for the home services workflow.

```
ample logs <deployment_id> --kind build
```

## Tested examples

- **Django pattern fixture** (`tests/deploy-canaries/django-patterns`): Verified transactional workflows basis for this blueprint.

## How to know it worked

- app responds on its public URL (`/` on the live URL, expect ample canary django patterns)
- transactional-workflows self-test from the example (`/p/transactional-workflows` on the live URL, expect see the pattern fixture checks)

## Cost estimate

Estimated 10.00 USD per month (size prices from pricing.toml at build revision ca0b484a7a9957c573a88d3a32dc603c3c10135a).

- app server x1 `s-1vcpu-1gb`: 5.00 USD
- managed PostgreSQL database x1 `s-1vcpu-1gb`: 5.00 USD

Upper-bound monthly price of the tested sizes. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.

## Verification evidence

- canary_run on 2026-09-20T03:31:44Z at revision `03b6402b1b3e19178985f08ea4033804521d85d4 (CLI b75e104)`: Django pattern fixture deployed on Ample (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 transactional workflows checks passed: 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). The blueprint's Home services schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed. (expires 2027-03-19T03:31:44Z)
