Django - in memory sqlite in production

Question

I have a small (10MB), read-only, sqlite3 DB that I use in production.

I want to speed up my website so I'm trying to load the entire DB from disk to memory on every Django startup.

This answer explains how to do it in flask: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10856450/3327587

Is there a similar solution for Django?

Answer 1

Configure memory database:

DATABASES = {
  'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
    'NAME': ':memory:',
  }
}

and put the code you've linked to as a startup script (please refer to Execute code when Django starts ONCE only?).
