// Build: Backend

Python & Django development for data-driven and AI-ready platforms

Scalable Django REST APIs, data-heavy backends, Celery task pipelines, and ML model integrations. Python as a production engineering choice, not just a scripting language.

// Capabilities

Python/Django development scope

Django REST Framework APIs

ViewSets, serialisers, authentication, permissions, pagination, filtering, and versioning. Clean, testable API design built for mobile and frontend consumption.

Data-heavy Backends

Complex database models, multi-step data pipelines, Django ORM optimisation, raw SQL where needed, and aggregation queries for reporting and analytics.

Async Task Processing

Celery with Redis or SQS for background jobs, scheduled tasks, email pipelines, report generation, and data sync without blocking the request cycle.

Admin & Internal Tools

Django Admin customisation and django-grappelli, or Wagtail-backed CMS for editorial teams who need powerful content management with no vendor lock-in.

ML & AI Integration

Serving scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch models via REST endpoints. Pipeline orchestration, model versioning, and integration with data stores.

Multi-tenant SaaS Architecture

Schema-based or row-level tenant isolation, subscription management, and feature flagging patterns for B2B SaaS products built on Django.

// Engineering standards

Django as an engineering platform, not just a framework

Django's power lies in its consistency and batteries-included design. Used correctly, it dramatically accelerates data model design, admin tooling, and API development. Misused, it creates God-views, serialiser spaghetti, and ORM queries that kill database performance.

We enforce service-layer separation, write tests at the service level (not just the view level), profile queries in CI, and design background task architecture before it becomes a production bottleneck.

// Standards

  • Service-layer abstraction above views and ORM
  • pytest + factory_boy for data-driven tests
  • select_related / prefetch_related enforced in queryset review
  • Django Debug Toolbar and django-silk for query profiling
  • Environment-based settings with django-environ
  • Celery beat for periodic tasks, not cron hacks
  • Type hints across the codebase with mypy in CI
  • docker-compose for local environment parity

// In practice

How python/django development engagements run

Django engagements pair ORM models with Celery task queues, admin workflows, and REST or GraphQL APIs — common for data-heavy internal tools, ML feature stores, and LLM orchestration layers. We document data boundaries and PII handling before the first migration ships.

// FAQ

Python/Django development questions

When does Python/Django make sense over Node.js?+

Python is the right choice when your backend needs to interface with data science libraries, ML models, or scientific computing, the ecosystem is unmatched. Django also makes sense for data-heavy CRUD applications where its ORM, admin, and batteries-included approach accelerate development significantly.

How do you structure a scalable Django project?+

We use app-based separation of concerns with service layer abstraction above Django's views and ORM. Serialisers handle validation and representation. Business logic lives in service classes, not views. Signal overuse is avoided in favour of explicit service calls.

How do you handle performance in Django at scale?+

N+1 query elimination using select_related and prefetch_related, database index review, query annotations instead of Python loops, connection pooling via PgBouncer, Redis caching for expensive computations, and async views in Django 4+ for I/O-heavy endpoints.

Can you integrate Python ML models into a Django web product?+

Yes. We integrate ML inference into Django via REST endpoints, background Celery tasks, or async views depending on latency requirements. Model versioning, feature stores, and monitoring are handled as engineering concerns, not just data science experiments.
