Using a starter project, sometimes called \u201cboilerplate code<\/strong>\u201c, might help developers start faster a new project by reusing code already tested and production-ready. The seed project presented in this article is crafted with a basic set of modules and features common to many Django projects: authentication, a codebase structured using best practices, form validation, and deployment scripts for well-known technologies like Docker and Gunicorn\/Nginx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Django<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This popular Python<\/strong>-based was initially developed in 2003 by a team that was responsible for creating and maintaining newspaper websites. After creating a few websites, the team started to isolate the common parts and reuse the features shared across all products. This codebase evolved into a generic framework, which was open-sourced as the \u201cDjango Framework<\/strong>\u201d in 2005.  Currently, Django gathered many developers across the globe and the Github metrics are really impressive: 55k Starts, 24k Forks plus an active community with 2k contributors. Why Django is so popular?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete \u2013 <\/strong>Django follows the \u201cBatteries included\u201d philosophy and provides almost everything developers might want to do \u201cout of the box\u201d. Once the developers learn the framework, they can do almost anything from simple websites. API\u2019s, microservices, or complex eCommerce platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure \u2013 <\/strong>Django comes with a built-in security pattern coded by experienced developers. Django helps developers avoid many common security mistakes by providing modules and layers that have been engineered and tested to protect the website automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versatile \u2013 <\/strong>Django is used to code many types of products, from hobby presentation sites to blog platforms or heavy traffic, scalable architectures. Instagram<\/strong> for instance has built a big part of the product on top of Django<\/strong>. Another important aspect is the integration with other systems and frontend technologies like React, Vue, Google as authentication or data provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
