Where do you deploy for compute/storage? What about needing additional workers? How do you replicate your prod env in dev?

Django rest framework is really great, there’s a bit of a learning curve learning about the viewsets and how permission classes work and things like that, but once you get over that hurdle its so easy to make REST APIs that just hook up so cleanly to models.

I implemented a few custom authentication classes for things like group permissions on read / write for shared projects internally and just hooking this all up means I can write huge new modules that “just” slot in, in just a few hours. IMO they have the abstraction layers just right, it makes me really productive.
