OUR SERVICES

Scale your projects with cost-effective, quality solutions

Need skilled Django developers who get the job done? At ZenDev, we understand the challenge of finding the right talent. Therefore, our certified experts, with a proven track record, work closely with you to deliver projects on time and within budget. Connect with top developers who can integrate with your team or fully own your project. 

Here’s how we can help:

Custom Django development

Ever tried explaining your business logic to developers who just nod and smile? Yeah, we hate that too. Our team gets what you're trying to build - whether it's a web platform or an enterprise system that handles high user loads.

We build solutions that grow with your business, with security at the core and code that's easy to maintain. Think clean architecture, reliable performance, and documentation that works.

The best part? We speak both business and tech. When you share your goals, we help you find the smartest way forward.

API development & integration

Let's talk about real-world examples. When a sports technology company needed to process real-time performance data, we built a Django-powered backend using Django Rest Framework. The system handles everything - from user authentication with JWT to real-time notifications through Firebase. 

Beyond just video processing and AI analytics, we integrated external services like ModulAI for performance calculations and Twilio for communications.

We create APIs that work reliably and scale easily. Whether you need real-time data processing, push notifications, or secure user authentication, we create solutions that perform under pressure, with Redis caching keeping everything fast and responsive.

Performance optimization

Is your Django application running slower as your user base grows? We optimize existing systems without disrupting what works, focusing on real performance gains that users notice.

We implement proven optimization techniques to speed up your application and handle increased loads. From database tuning to smart caching strategies, our improvements keep your system running efficiently while reducing infrastructure costs.

Our optimization work typically cuts load times by half and increases system capacity - real improvements backed by data, not promises.

TECHNOLOGIES WE USE

The Django tech stack we used in previous work

Core concept

We use Django because it comes with all the essentials - like an ORM, admin panel, and built-in security - making it easier to create web apps that are secure, scalable, and fast to develop.

  • MVC framework
  • Built-in admin interface
  • Built-in features
  • Security features
  • URL routing
  • Tight integration
  • Template engine
  • Community and ecosystem

Design principles

Django keeps our projects organized by encouraging best practices like DRY (don’t repeat yourself) for reusable code and separation of concerns, so everything has its place and purpose.

  • DRY (don’t repeat yourself)
  • Explicit over implicit
  • Convention over configuration
  • Separation of concerns
  • Scalability
  • Reusable applications
  • Scalable design

ORM and database management

With Django's ORM, we can interact with our database using Python code instead of writing SQL, making it easy to query, manage relationships, and keep our database schema up-to-date through migrations.

  • Django ORM
  • Relationships & constraints
  • Migration system
  • Third-party databases
  • Advanced queries
  • Database transaction management

Built-in admin panel

The admin panel is our go-to for managing data in the app; it's customizable, easy to set up, and saves us from building an admin interface from scratch.

  • Custom actions
  • Custom filters
  • Inline editing
  • Themes and styling

API development

We rely on Django REST framework to quickly build APIs that handle data serialization, authentication, and endpoint creation with minimal effort.

  • Django REST framework (DRF)
  • Versioning
  • Viewsets and routers
  • Pagination
  • GraphQL integration
  • Serialization
  • Authentication mechanism
  • Throttling & caching

Templating and frontend integration

Django's templating system lets us generate dynamic HTML pages while integrating smoothly with frontend frameworks like React or Vue.js when we need something more interactive.

  • Django templates
  • Frontend frameworks
  • Static & media files
  • Custom template tags
  • HTML minification

Authentication and authorization

Django makes user authentication simple with its out-of-the-box support for login, permissions, and role management, while also allowing us to add OAuth or multi-factor authentication as needed.

  • User management
  • Permission system
  • Third-party OAuth
  • Custom permissions
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Session management

Caching and optimization

We use Django's caching options, like query and output caching, to speed up our app and reduce server load, especially for repeated queries or heavy pages.

  • Output caching
  • Backend options
  • Database query caching
  • Query caching
  • File-based caching
  • Template fragment caching

Asynchronous capabilities

When we need real-time features or want to handle high traffic, Django's asynchronous views and Django Channels let us manage WebSockets and other async tasks seamlessly.

  • Async views

  • Database mocking

Performance optimization

We optimize our app by tweaking database queries, adding indexes to critical fields, and leveraging Django's async capabilities to handle high-concurrency situations.

  • Query optimization

Deployment and scaling

Django applications are easy to deploy with tools like Docker and work well with cloud platforms, making it simple to scale horizontally using load balancers and serve static content via CDNs.

  • Containerization
  • Web server
  • Load balancing
  • Cloud platforms
  • Horizontal scaling
  • CDNs for static content
  • CI/CD integration

FAQ

What is Django and why consider it for your project?

Django is a Python-based framework that helps developers build web applications efficiently and securely. It's the technology behind platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, offering a complete set of tools for both simple and complex projects.

Think of it as a foundation that gives you everything needed to build modern web applications. Django handles security, data management, and user authentication, while letting developers focus on creating features that matter to your business.

It stands out for three key reasons: quick development time, built-in security features, and reliable performance as you grow. Plus, its extensive ecosystem means you're never starting from scratch - there's usually a tested solution ready for your specific needs.

What kind of applications can I build with Django? 

Django is versatile enough to build various applications, from content management systems and e-commerce platforms to AI-powered tools and data-intensive applications. Its robust architecture makes it suitable for projects requiring high security, complex database relationships, or heavy data processing.

How much does it cost to hire Django developers?

The cost depends on your project scope and whether you need temporary help or a long-term team. Our nearshore developers typically cost 40-60% less than US rates while working in your time zone. We'll help you choose the most cost-effective option - whether that's adding developers to your team or having us handle the entire project.
