    An inventory system API built using Django to keep track of where things are in my office. (by romansorin)

    I didn't want to put all of my eggs into one basket, so I kept the sample project I was working on small. It had to be just enough that I covered the major concepts of Django, but with enough complexity that it couldn't be classified as a "to-do list". At the time, I wanted a way of tracking inventory in my home office, so I built an incomplete inventory tracking system after following the Django docs. Despite having a lot more experience with the framework now, I still reference this project sometimes when I'm implementing new viewsets (more on this later).

  • django-rest-framework

    Web APIs for Django. 🎸

    Django also provides you with an "admin" view, which is essentially a CRUD panel for any models that you load. This is probably a better choice for someone looking for a framework with an admin dash prebuilt, but I use both Laravel and Django in the context of building an API only. With Django, you'd need to pull in Django REST framework (DRF) – Laravel offers it right out of the box.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Laravel

    Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation for your next big idea — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

    Before my current role, I spent most of my professional development career writing web apps in Laravel. I learned Laravel out of necessity after learning PHP, but wanted to avoid working in WordPress – and I quickly grew fond of the framework. Even during Laravel 5, the framework just felt right.
