A cookiecutter template that scaffolds production-ready Django REST Framework APIs with best practices baked in. It generates a fully dockerized project with authentication, user accounts, tests, documentation, and CI configured out of the box.

Use cases

• scaffold a new django rest api project
• bootstrap a rest api with authentication and user accounts
• start a dockerized django project with tests and ci
• quickly set up a scalable python rest backend
• generate a best-practice django rest framework boilerplate
• create an api starter with postgres and docker-compose

When to choose

• starting a new Django REST Framework API from scratch
• you want authentication, tests, docs, and CI preconfigured
• you need a dockerized Python backend on a tight deadline
• you value current dependencies and security updates

When to avoid

• you already have an existing Django project to integrate into
• you need a non-Django or non-REST stack
• you want a minimal template without opinions on tooling
• your team prefers different auth, database, or deployment choices than the template ships with
