## The short version

A member portal blueprint for professional training built with Django on Ample. Domain schema:

- **course_groups** (certification, cohort, start_at, end_at): Certification cohorts;
- **memberships** (course_group_id, participant_email, employer, role): Participants and trainers;
- **sessions** (course_group_id, starts_at, module, location_or_link): Training sessions;
- **materials** (course_group_id, module, object_key, visibility): Course materials and exam guides;
- **document_access** (document_id, principal_reference, role, granted_at): Who may read which document.

Public information includes the certification catalog, cohort dates, and trainer credentials. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed are: exam results, employer billing, and participant identity. Exam results and certifications are personal records; only cohort logistics and materials are modeled. Technical basis verified on Django: a role-to-document access model with negative tests (401 without identity, 403 for the wrong role) and a private-bucket round-trip for the allowed role (private=ok).

## 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 professional training data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

## How to do it

1. **Model the professional training domain**  
Create the tables course_groups, memberships, sessions, materials, document_access. Certification cohorts live in course_groups; keep the sensitive classes (exam results, employer billing, participant identity) out of this schema.

2. **Workflow step 1**  
Model groups, memberships and roles.

3. **Workflow step 2**  
Authorize access to materials by membership and role (401, 403 negative tests).

4. **Workflow step 3**  
Store materials in the private bucket and stream them through the app.

5. **Workflow step 4**  
Deploy and verify the negative tests and an authorized download.

```
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=...
```

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

7. **Verify**  
Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/private-document-library) and your own acceptance checks for the professional training workflow.

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

## Tested examples

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

## How to know it worked

- App responds on its public URL (`/` on the live URL, expect ample canary django patterns)
- Private-document-library self-test from the example (`/p/private-document-library` on the live URL, expect to 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

The blueprint's Professional training schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed. (expires 2027-03-19T03:31:44Z)
