Backend (Python/Django) overview

The Backend Python/Django specialization covers building server-side web applications and APIs using the Django framework and the broader Python web ecosystem. Key skills include Django ORM and migrations, Django REST Framework and Ninja for API layers, Celery for background tasks, authentication (django-allauth, social auth), caching with Redis, and deployment on gunicorn/uvicorn behind nginx. The specialization shares concerns with Full-stack Web App (Python) when a frontend is included, and with Data Science/Engineering when Python services consume or produce data pipelines. PostgreSQL is the canonical database companion.
