dj-database-url

dj-database-url is a simple Django utility that allows you to configure your Django application's database using a single 12-factor inspired `DATABASE_URL` environment variable. It parses the URL and returns a Django-compatible database connection dictionary, supporting various backend types like PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle. Currently at version 3.1.2, it is actively maintained by the Jazzband community with regular updates.
