Django REST Framework: Taking your API to the next level
summary
An API example creates about 15,000 tickets to stress performance then applies dynamic serializers to avoid duplicated nested representations, uses select_related and prefetch_related to cut DB queries and drops a slow 2+ minute response to ~124 ms, adds django-filter for URL filtering, enables caching with django-cacheops with Redis and cache_page decorators, and enforces model and field rules via dry-permissions while adding an Excel renderer mixin — the changes are built and demonstrably speed and simplify the API.
