βš™ Full Stack

Django REST Framework backend with Postgres, Redis for caching/queues, Celery workers for async jobs, MinIO for file storage, and a Next.js/React frontend β€” a multi-service stack orchestrated via docker-compose.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

The Django+Celery+Redis architecture scales horizontally in principle by adding web/worker replicas, but the multi-service footprint (5-6 stateful/stateless components) makes it meaningfully harder to operate at scale than single-binary alternatives.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Needs multiple pods: web (Django), frontend (Next.js), worker (Celery), postgres.pod:5432, redis.pod:6379, and a MinIO pod for S3-compatible storage; each service's inter-pod URL should use <podName>.pod:<port>, not localhost.
