django-template

My public starter for backend projects: Django 5.2 + DRF, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, MinIO, Nginx, per-environment settings, structured logs, pytest, Ruff, pre-commit, GitHub Actions and GitLab CI that build the image into GHCR and deploy over SSH, plus deploy and backup docs. About 30 company projects are built on it, and it is mandatory for new ones. This site runs on it too.

What I did

  • About 30 company projects are built on it
  • Servers never build: git pull and make prod deploy
  • Tests without external services and a migrations drift check
  • Hardened by an adversarial review: 24 findings fixed

Stack

  • Python
  • Django
  • Django REST Framework
  • Celery

project-template — full-stack starter

Django and React in one monorepo: a shared OpenAPI contract, independent pipelines and images ready for Kubernetes

  • An OpenAPI contract between the teams: the backend generates the schema, the frontend the types, CI fails when the contract is stale
  • Kubernetes-ready: env-only settings, migrations in a separate release step (a Job in the cluster), liveness and readiness probes, non-root, JSON logs
  • Independent pipelines and deploying one component without touching the other
  • A new project in one command: a script renames everything and gives the project its own port
