In this talk we will be going through strategies of optimising Django applications with a focus on the following:
- database optimisation: indexing, query optimisation, and sharding,
- view rendering optimisation: template optimization, caching, and static file handling,
- efficient serialization: minimizing data, compression, and caching,
- concurrency with asynchronous views and background tasks to improve responsiveness.
After this talk, attendees will learn practical techniques for improving execution time while reducing memory usage.
This talk is ideal for individuals of all levels with knowledge of how Django works and software development practices.
