Django REST start template

Simple Django project template for REST API with my preferred setup. The template is just for a quick start and covers only the base things.

Stack

• Python 3.14;
• Postgres 16 as database;
• Redis 8 as cache and message broker.

Features

• Django - python web framework;
• Django REST Framework - for serializing and deserializing data;
• drf-spectacular - for REST api documentation;
• django-cors-headers - adds Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers to responses;
• django-environ - read .env file;

Dev features

• pytest - for unit and integration tests;
• ruff - check code style;
• mypy - check types;
• isort - keeps imports in the correct way;
• django-debug-toolbar - to find weak points in the project.

Docker

Docker settings is for development only.
