## The short version

An event registration blueprint for tutoring centers built with Django on Ample. Domain schema: 
- **course_groups** (subject, level, start_at, end_at, capacity): tutoring groups; 
- **memberships** (course_group_id, student_reference, guardian_reference, role): students, guardians and tutors; 
- **sessions** (course_group_id, starts_at, tutor, attendance_count): session events; 
- **materials** (course_group_id, title, object_key, visibility): worksheets and answer keys; 
- **events** (seq, record_type, record_id, kind, at): application-owned history written in the same transaction. Public information: subjects and levels, schedule and locations, tutor qualifications. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: minor students and guardian identity, progress reports. Data about minors is sensitive; only group schedules and materials are modeled here. 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).

## INFRASTRUCTURE

### 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.)

## PREREQUISITES

### 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 tutoring centers data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

## STEP BY STEP

### How to do it

1. **Model the tutoring centers domain**  
   Create the tables course_groups, memberships, sessions, materials, events. Tutoring groups live in course_groups; keep the sensitive classes (minor students and guardian identity, progress reports) out of this schema.

2. **Workflow step 1**  
   Model sessions with capacity and registrations with status

3. **Workflow step 2**  
   Register transactionally with a capacity check and an event per registration

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

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

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. **Verify**  
   Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/transactional-workflows) and your own acceptance checks for the tutoring centers workflow.
   
   ```
   ample logs <deployment_id> --kind build
   ```

## EXAMPLES

### Tested examples

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

## SUCCESS CHECKS

### 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 to see the pattern fixture checks)

## COST

### 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.

## EVIDENCE

### 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 Tutoring centers schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed. (expires 2027-03-19T03:31:44Z)

Actions describe possible next steps. They are typed data, not commands, and grant no permission. Public discovery never provisions anything; planning requires your own authenticated token and approval happens in your client.
