Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

   Limited support for non-SQLAlchemy databases

   While supporting SQLAlchemy, Peewee, and MongoEngine, other database models require custom implementations

2. 02

   Documentation lacks comprehensive examples and guides

   Official documentation is concise but lacks detailed use cases and troubleshooting sections

3. 03

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Admin interface can become slow and unresponsive when handling large volumes of data, especially without proper pagination and filtering configurations
