Our Choice? Django!
Because why start from scratch when you can ride on the wings of innovation?
Django's rich library of packages was a game-changer! We seamlessly integrated top-notch, pre-existing solutions, catapulting our development speed like never before. Full steam ahead!
Data Security
To add an extra layer of security we used:
  • OAuth2 Authentication: django-oauth-toolkit
  • Token-Based Security: djangorestframework-simplejwt
  • Granular Permissions: drf-access-policy
Leveraging these specialized packages atop Django’s intrinsic data security mechanisms, we've fortified our platform's defenses even further.
The Supporting Cast
For navigating the intricacies of data manipulation, querying, and retrieval, we deployed a suite of Django extensions, each with a unique role and collective harmony:
  • django-filter: Facilitates seamless data filtering, allowing for easy and dynamic data querying.
  • django-rql: It simplifies complex querying tasks, making data retrieval both intuitive and powerful.
  • django-model-utils: Provides additional model fields and utilities that make working with data models even more efficient and effortless.
  • django-ordered-model: Assists in creating ordered models, giving you the freedom and flexibility to organize and rearrange data structures as needed.
Leveraging these specialized packages atop Django’s intrinsic data security mechanisms, we've fortified our platform's defenses even further.
Modular Architecture
Django’s inherent modular architecture is further enhanced and customized through the integration of various extensions and third-party packages, each contributing specific functionality to the overall application:
  • Multi-Tenancy Support with: django-tenants
  • Real-time Notifications through django-snitch
  • API Schema Generation with: drf-spectacular
  • Consistent Error Handling using: drf-standardized-errors
These modules simplify the development process and makes it 10x faster while ensuring that the application is built on a solid foundation of best practices and industry-standard technologies.
Minimal Latency
To ensure minimal latency for our real time features we used:
  • WebSockets Support with Django Channels
  • Periodic Task Scheduling with Django-celery-beat
  • Rapid Data Retrieval & Messaging with Redis
This trio works in unison to facilitate real-time communication, automate scheduled tasks, and provide rapid access to data, delivering a user experience that is seamless, intuitive, and delightfully responsive.
Using these techniques we were able to deliver a hiring solution in just 6 months.

Let's start building a great product together!
