Administrative panels are critical for e-commerce data governance, yet their implementation is often hindered by tight deadlines. Filament v4 and Django Admin provide rapid, model-driven back-office solutions, but direct empirical evaluations remain scarce. This study analyzes the architectural paradigms and operational effectiveness of Filament v4 and Django Admin using Rapid Application Development (RAD) on the Borneo Link e-commerce system, managing 1,000 material records under a two-month constraint without prior interface design. Both systems were constructed with equivalent schemas and validated through 35 black-box test cases across administrator and partner roles. The architectural evaluation demonstrates that Django Admin delivers superior simplicity and faster setup (2 minutes 4 seconds vs. 4 minutes 38 seconds), whereas Filament v4 provides greater modularity via dedicated resource and relation managers. Usability evaluations across ten representative respondents indicated that Filament v4 outperformed Django Admin in learnability (85.0% vs. 69.0%) and user engagement (84.5% vs. 60.5%), facilitated by built-in detail pages and input masking. Conversely, Django Admin exhibited higher operability (81.3% vs. 67.3%) and significantly faster response times across pagination, search, and filtering (529.2–613.8 ms vs. 901.28–1119.4 ms). These performance divergences stem from architectural differences between Django’s native server-side rendering and Filament’s Livewire-driven asynchronous request pipeline. These findings delineate an empirical trade-off between execution speed and interface interactivity, establishing actionable criteria for framework selection in rapid enterprise systems development.
