My Journey in Django Development: Challenges & Solutions

I’ve built authentication systems, device logging, and email notifications using Django. One project involved a secure login system with email verification and JWT authentication. To prevent users from skipping verification, I enforced email confirmation before login. Another project was a real-time device logging system using Django, Celery, and Redis, optimizing log storage with indexing. For email alerts on login attempts and password changes, I integrated Django Signals and Celery for automated notifications. A major challenge was emails landing in spam, solved by implementing DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. Optimizing database queries improved performance in log-heavy applications. Automating background tasks with Celery helped manage system load efficiently. These experiences reinforced the importance of security, scalability, and performance optimization in Django applications.
