UpSnap VS cookiecutter-django

Additionally, check out the Django Cookiecutter project and look at the code it generates for example of how they have built test cases for included stuff. I learned a ton from this.

If you want to have more control over the server, though, and for example have a database, have user accounts, have custom jobs running in the background to update your data, whatever features sites like reddit and facebook have, there's a lot of work to do. The bare minimum is to get a server running a web framework - here is a "hello world" web site template that I use a lot.

I have some specific requirements for the Django projects I create at my job, so here's how I use cookiecutter-django to help get things going.

I haven't used django-cookiecutter I'm afraid. It looks like someone having a similar issue here and I'm not sure if anything linked to from there will help... https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django/issues/2413

3) This is what I use for my production sites, it follows pretty much every convention you need for getting your site production ready: https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django/ . For tutorial on how to use it , check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLxcyndCvO4

Django Rest Framework, Django CookieCutter

django-cookiecutter is a good template for setting up a production-ready django site. It includes options for things like storing static files on a CDN, using Docker, setting up email providers, all sorts of things.

This and you can take a look at Cookiecutter Django.
