PR Review Process

Comprehensive code review guidelines, standards, and best practices to ensure code quality, maintainability, and consistency across all projects.

Contents

• General Guidelines - Universal code review rules applicable across all teams and tech stacks
• Backend Review (Django) - Backend-specific code review process and guidelines for Django/Python

Overview

Code reviews are a critical part of our development workflow. They help us:

1. Maintain Code Quality - Catch bugs, ensure standards compliance, and improve code readability
2. Share Knowledge - Learn from each other's approaches and techniques
3. Ensure Consistency - Keep the codebase uniform and maintainable
4. Improve Security - Identify potential security vulnerabilities before they reach production

Review Philosophy

• Constructive Feedback - Reviews should be helpful, not critical
• Learn and Teach - Both reviewers and authors should learn from the process
• Timely Reviews - Respond to PRs within established SLAs
• Thorough but Efficient - Balance thoroughness with speed

General Principles

All code reviews, regardless of the tech stack, should verify:

• Functionality - Does the code do what it's supposed to do?
• Tests - Are there adequate tests covering the changes?
• Security - Are there any security concerns?
• Performance - Are there any performance implications?
• Documentation - Is the code well-documented where necessary?
