Thanks for link references - they've been helpful. We're in the process of forking the existing django-mssql-backend <https://github.com/ESSolutions/django-mssql-backend> and setting up related pipelines. We're also reviewing previously logged Github issues, and preparing an internal Django app as a tool and onboarding opportunity. Are there any other hot topics related to Django and MSSQL? We're happy to discuss offline in a video call as well.
