This chapter covers:

  • Django hardening

  • REST API hardening

  • Deployment to production

In the previous chapter, we assembled a pseudo-decoupled Django project with the Django REST Framework and Vue.js.

It’s now time to explore the security implications of such a setup, which are not so dissimilar from running a monolith, but do require some extra steps due to the presence of the REST API. After a focus on security, in the second part of the chapter we cover deployment to production with Gunicorn and NGINX.
