Django models across multiple projects/microservices. How to?

Question

I\'m wondering how to solve sharing of the model structure between multiple (separated) django projects/microservices. Eg:

1. Project: API
2. Project: Users das

Answer 1

Two potential options:

Option 1 - Use a common codebase and deploy multiple instances of it (one for each microservice). You could follow 12factor Apps Methodology and just load a different set of environment variables for each deployed instance. http://12factor.net/

Option 2 - Split your django code up into self contained applications then have a project for each microservice that just includes these projects and a url config.

I can expand further if this is helpful?
