Management Commands
-------------------

There are two managment commands, one to take a project down `python manage.py downtime_start` and one to set it back
up `python manage.py downtime_end`.

What happens internally when calling `python manage.py downtime_start`?

This sets a start date time and mark is as enabled. We call this "deployment mode", usually called before
running a deployment script.

What happens internally when calling `python manage.py downtime_end`?

This sets a end date time to all records that has a start date time and no end date time set and are
marked as enabled. We call this "closing deployment mode", usually called after running a deployment script.
