Introduction

The specification below is effective only as of June 2025, and old projects might not follow these conventions

Codeleap's backend template uses the following rough tech stack:

• Django
  • Great framework
• Django Rest Framework
  • For creating API views easily
• Celery + Celery beat
  • For task scheduling
  • Celery beat is used for periodic tasks alongside a package that manages them through django
• Gunicorn
  • This runs the actual production server
• Boto3 (AWS SDK for python)
  • Mainly S3, but we use other AWS services on some projects eg. Textract, SES
• PostgreSQL
  • As the database
• Firebase
  • For authentication and push notifications
• Redis
  • For caching
  • Also used as celery broker
• Pydantic
  • To define application specific data structures not tied to models
