✨ Django Celery

Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing. It is focused on real-time task execution but supports scheduling as well. Using this library with Django, our projects can execute tasks in the background and improve the user experience.


✨ Django Pandas

A popular Django extension that provides tools for working with pandas in your Django projects: convert database information to pandas, CSV files, and extract different metrics from data frames.


✨ Django Ninja

Fast, Async-ready, Openapi, type hints-based framework for API development that competes nicely with his older brother Django DRF. Β Key features:

  • Easy: Designed to be easy to use and intuitive.
  • FAST execution powered by Pydantic and async support.
  • Fast to code: Type hints and automatic docs let you focus only on business logic.
  • Standards-based: Based on the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema.

✨ Django HTMX

According to the htmx website this tool allows us to access AJAX, Server-Sent Events, and WebSockets directly in HTML, using attributes. Django-HTML represents the glue between Django and HTMX technology.

A nice feature of HTMX is when doing asynchronous calls to your backend, HTMX does not expect a JSON response but an HTML fragment response. Β For more resources about this topic, feel free to access:
