django-backend cookiecutter template

Features

• Uses Python 3.8, Django 3.1, Django REST Framework 3.12.
• Python dependencies are managed with Poetry package manager.
  • Pins dependencies with poetry.lock, ensures reproducibility!
• Built with the Nix package manager.
  • Developers, No need to learn Nix! You can use the Python toolset you're already familiar with.
  • Ensures end-to-end reproducibility, "it works on my computer" is no longer a valid excuse.
• Small Docker image, only 65 megabytes compressed!
  • 233 megabytes uncompressed, still comparatively small for a Django app with all of its dependencies!
• Out of the box support for Amazon S3 (and compatibles) for media storage.
  • Don't use Amazon S3? No worries, this project uses django-storages which supports other object storage backends too!
• Static files served by the backend itself, thanks to whitenoise.
  • Why setup a separate bucket solely for static files when whitenoise is good enough.
• Authentication, registration, verification endpoints preconfigured, thanks to django-rest-authemail.
• Scaffold client libraries quickly with OpenAPI 3.0 schema generation, thanks to drf-spectacular
