## What it is
A bleeding-edge Cookiecutter template for scaffolding Django projects with a strong focus on code quality, security, and scalability. It ships preconfigured tooling including mypy, pytest, wemake style guides, Docker, Poetry, and GitLab CI.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new django project with best practices
- bootstrap a django project with docker and ci
- set up strict typing and linting for django
- create a production-ready django template
- start a django rest api project with pytest and mypy
- generate a secure django project structure

## When to choose
- starting a large, long-lived django project with multiple developers
- you want docker-based dev, test, and production parity
- you use gitlab and gitlab ci for deployment
- code quality, security, and strict style checks are top priorities

## When to avoid
- you just need a quick prototype without heavy workflows
- you don't use docker for deployment
- you don't use gitlab ci
- you serve frontend assets from django rather than a separate frontend

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, testing, linter, ci-cd, container-runtime, security, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, security
- platform: python, cli
- tags: cookiecutter-template, django, project-scaffolding, code-quality, mypy, pytest, gitlab-ci, docker-compose, poetry, devops, docker, linux, web-server
