 This is awkward and problematic, and there are procedures to develop database changes that work better.

+### Django only tackles database-based, server-side-rendered, non highly interactive web applications
+
+While certainly a huge amount of applications:
+
+* Revolve around data stored in a relational database
+* Are better implemented as server-side rendering applications
+* Do not require very complex or real-time interactions
+
+There are certainly many applications that do not fit this mold.
+
+In my opinion, focusing on database-based applications is a good decision.
+Many Django features (like the admin) revolve around the database, and a framework oriented to other applications likely should be very different.
+
+However, more and more applications break the limits of server-side rendering, and while you can build such applications with Django, you need a lot of effort or finding additional libraries to use.
+
+For example:
+
+* [Django REST framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) provides a layer to provide REST APIs on top of the Django ORM.
+* Projects exist to add support for Django for front end frameworks such as [htmx](https://htmx.org/) or [Hotwire](https://hotwired.dev/).
+  These frameworks are an intermediate step between traditional server-side-rendered applications and JavaScript front ends, enabling most of the benefits of JavaScript front ends within the traditional server-side rendering approach.
