Project Values

Django Mercury follows Fair, Free, Open principles:

Fair: Equal opportunity for all contributors regardless of background or experience level

Free: Free to use, study, share, and improve. No barriers to participation.

Open: Open source development with transparent decision-making and community ownership

Educational Mission

Django Mercury was created to support educational equity. Our tools work for:

  • Students with limited internet connectivity
  • Developers learning on older hardware
  • Teachers using resource-constrained equipment
  • Global contributors with varying access to technology

Performance Testing Philosophy

Django Mercury uses the Human-in-the-Loop approach:

  • 80% Automation: Tools handle repetitive analysis and monitoring
  • 20% Human Intelligence: Developers make optimization decisions and learn concepts

This approach teaches performance concepts rather than just detecting problems.
